Designed for Wellbeing should be a core resource for anybody who is serious about leasing or developing student-focused assets in the twenty-first century. Philippa and Tom have successfully distilled decades of wellbeing research into this accessible and practical guide. The days of average or harmful properties generating good returns are over, the market demands better, the market deserves better.

Martin Prince-Parrott, Architect, RIBA FRSA

Philippa and Tom fuse their extensive knowledge and passion for property design and wellbeing into this easy-to-understand resource. The book provides practical guidance every property investor can implement to create a portfolio that delivers a positive impact on their tenants wellbeing. A must read for any investor who wants to help shape the future of student housing.

Dr Sarah Hambidge, PhD, Postdoctoral Researcher in Psychology

Designed for Wellbeing provides the first comprehensive account of how the design of student living spaces is so essential to promoting students safety, health and belonging. The well-evidenced, practical advice is not just relevant for developers, but anyone interested in understanding how every aspect of the student experience can support student wellbeing and mental health. This work brings us one step closer to understanding how, working in partnership with colleagues right across higher education, we can shape a future in which everyone in higher education can thrive.

Student Minds, the UKs Student Mental Health Charity

Introduction

There are some school buildings that help children learn more and make better friends. There are some hospital buildings that help sick people heal faster, with less medicine. Some office buildings help employees be more productive and experience less stress. Some homes help us to be fitter, healthier and happier. How we design our buildings shapes our lives and all our futures.

Not all buildings are designed well. In the UK, 50% of young people go into higher education. One-third are currently experiencing mental health issues. Thats a five-fold increase over the past decade, and it isnt slowing down.

We have always been fascinated by the intersection of the built environment and health. Our professional background has been in the built environment working on urban regeneration and residential development projects across the UK and Australia. Varying in scale from local communities to major urban cities, all these projects shared an important characteristic they created better places for people to live and work.

We took a leap from consultancy (alongside having three children) into our own business FAT Properties and began developing student property with the same focus on improving the places in which people live that we had had in our previous professional lives. We believe quality of life can be improved by buildings that have been designed for wellbeing.

When we first started looking to develop student homes, we were shocked to see that the same approach was not being taken in the student accommodation sector.

Student accommodation had become purely an asset to generate returns, and landlords seemed to be forgetting the impact that homes can have on peoples lives.

The reputation of student houses as poor quality and badly maintained hadnt improved much in years. One in three houses in the private rented sector (PRS) was deemed unfit for human habitation. Purposebuilt student accommodation (PBSA) developments had a reputation for high prices but bad design, making regular appearances in the Carbuncle Cup, Britains award for bad architecture.

Bedroom sizes had shrunk, and communal spaces had been reduced or cut out in order to squeeze in more rentable bedrooms. Rules governing social activity, including visiting hours after which nonresidents must leave, were becoming more prevalent in PBSA. Individual studio apartments with no aspects of communal living had more than doubled in six years.

At the same time, universities and the NHS were spending more and more time and money on student support. There were frequent sad headlines such as 1 in 6 students dont have any friends. We knew the harm that isolation causes yet here we were isolating our young. Something was wrong.

Since 2013 we have been developing properties following the principles we outline in this book and we see on a daily basis the benefits that creating spaces designed for wellbeing has for students. We felt that it was our duty as parents to three young children to share everything that we have learned from our combined twenty years experience in the built environment and seven years developing and investing in student accommodation. This gave us the impetus to write this book and donate all of our profits from the sale of this book to the mental health charity Student Minds.

We wrote it as a practical guide to help investors, developers, universities and landlords improve student accommodation. Its aim is to:

• Explain what wellbeing is, and why it is so important, both to the individual and to wider society
• Set out proven design guidelines to optimise wellbeing in student accommodation
• Demonstrate the benefits of this approach to the profitability and longevity of your property investment
