Competition Photos - The Rex, Kingston-upon-Thames

We’re delighted to showcase the completed project photos from The Rex in Kingston-upon-Thames.

The scheme involved the redevelopment of an existing student accommodation building to deliver 210 co-living units, while retaining the ground floor commercial spaces, including the CEX and KFC retail units, and creating new commercial space, extensive communal areas, and E-class co-working facilities.

The development incorporated the reuse of elements of the existing substructure and superstructure, supporting a more efficient and sustainable redevelopment. Notably, this scheme is the UK’s first co-living development built to BREEAM Outstanding.

It’s fantastic to see this project reach completion, and we’re proud to have played a part in bringing it to life. A huge thank you to everyone involved in delivering The Rex!

“CField were a pleasure to deal with on site. Given that it was a live site and the administrative offices continued to function throughout the project period, disruption was minimised and management of movement of staff to different locations within the building during the project was facilitated efficiently. Any issues or concerns raised were dealt with positively in a timely manner and the project was completed without delays.”
