Alumno · Since 2006

We create homes, not housing — working with the UK's leading architects to bring art, culture and purpose back to place.

Working with the UK's leading architects.

From Sheffield’s Park Hill to Aberdeen’s Powis Place, we partner with practices whose work is shaped by context and conscience — not formula.

Restoring buildings that mattered.

Town halls, mills, theatres — we work with heritage rather than against it, returning life to structures the city had begun to forget.

Bringing art, culture and purpose back to place.

Every Alumno building commissions public art, supports local makers, and creates space that gives something back to the neighbourhood it sits in.

For students who deserve more than a room.

Nine thousand students live in Alumno buildings. Each one of them is a neighbour, a contributor, a part of the city’s continuing story.

A Publication · 2024

The Shared Space
— twenty years, told in chapters.

A book of photographs, conversations and community stories from the places Alumno has shaped. The architects who built them. The students who live in them. The neighbourhoods that hold them.

In Their Words

Architecture is a conversation. These are some of the voices.

“The Alumno sponsored ‘Photo North’ student photography awards is an incredibly inspiring, collaborative and heart warming experience for Channel 4 to be part of”

Carl Palmer

Senior Picture Commissioner. Channel 4

“As a graduate of the company, I admire Theatre Peckham’s continued mission to increase diversity in the creative industries, inspiring young people like myself to be the change we want to see in this industry”

John Boyega

Actor

“I love the idea that what we are creating actually helps students engage with the cultural history of the places that are being regenerated.”

David Campbell

Founder, Alumno
