Palmerston Court, Battersea

Deanestor is thrilled to announce the successful completion of Palmerston Court in Battersea—London’s first large-scale PassivHaus student accommodation. This landmark development sets a new standard for sustainable student living in the capital.

• Project: Palmerston Court, Battersea

• Sector: Sustainable Student Accommodation

• Client: Urbanest

• Capacity: 850 bespoke student living spaces

• Kitchens Installed: 162 kitchens with 17 distinct designs

The development has transformed the site, replacing four original buildings with a modern, energy-efficient complex designed to house 850 students. Deanestor provided high-quality, bespoke fitted furniture for both non-ensuite rooms and studio apartments, as well as designing and installing custom kitchens tailored to diverse student needs.

Palmerston Court is designed to ease pressure on the local housing market, potentially freeing up 340 homes that would otherwise be occupied by students. Additionally, the development is projected to inject £4.2 million annually into the local economy, benefiting businesses in the area.

Sustainability Highlights:

• BREEAM-compliant design, meeting high environmental standards

• Car-free development, promoting greener living and reducing carbon footprint

• PassivHaus construction, ensuring energy efficiency and lower emissions

Deanestor’s work on this pioneering project was praised by Urbanest’s Project Manager, Daniel Baylis:

“Deanestor have successfully completed our Battersea project, providing high-quality bedroom and kitchen furniture throughout the scheme. We have worked with Deanestor on a number of our projects and have been impressed with the support and services provided. The furniture looks fantastic and is of good quality and design.”

Deanestor is proud to have played a key role in this groundbreaking development, delivering bespoke, sustainable furniture solutions that enhance student living while supporting London’s carbon-neutral goals.
