Vox Dundee

Retrofit student accommodation for design-aware urbanites

VOX is the first of a family of retrofit student accommodation schemes with a shared ambition to create the best place to live for design-aware urbanites, who want to live and work in interesting and unique city centre locations.

Dundee College of Commerce opened in May 1970, overlooking the city and the Tay estuary. Following its closure in 2011 the site was secured by Whiteburn Property who set about the reuse of the building’s incredible concrete structure to create a vibrant, mixed-use community, providing 110 flats, co-working space, a café, gym, lounge and small community cinema. VOX aims to rebalance the inescapable calculus that most of us have to face at some point in our lives: more space in suburbia vs a more interesting life in the city.
