Cowan Court

Cowan Court is a new accommodation at Churchill College, University of Cambridge. It consists of 68 en-suite rooms, including 3 rooms specifically designed for disabled students.

Trojanwood is proud to have made and delivered the bespoke freestanding furniture for all 68 rooms. Each room comprises of a double bed, desk and two bedside tables. Of those 14 rooms also include a chest of drawers.

The furniture is made from solid oak to fit in with the reclaimed timber cladding exterior, and oak interior. Laminated plywood is used on the majority of the furniture to give it strength and a modern feel. Laminate is used as it adds to the colour scheme of the room and is practical for students.

This project was done for architects Chadwick Dryer Clarke. This was a very interesting project that the whole team enjoyed working on. The tree is formed from flexible plywood and MDF, all held together with a steel core structure. The finish is a vibrant green Polyurethane lacquer. The tree forms seating for reading or story-telling with integrated computers, which allows audio recordings to be played, and has a central LED-lit snug within the trunk. Knitted within the roots of the tree are book shelves. The shelving around the room is constructed out of MDF covered in white laminate with a PVC edge, the shelf uprights are sprayed grey with a Polyurethane lacquer.
