Original Concept Masterplan
• 9 x multi-level residential buildings proposed (6-8 storeys) long podium buildings diminish existing view corridors
• 3x college concept proposed large extent of costly site works required; ‘foot print’ large
Architectus Concept Masterplan
• 6 x multi-level residential buildings proposed (4-7 storeys) elimination of podium buildings; retain existing view corridors
• 3x college concept maintained - minimal site works required; existing pedestrian link improved; building ‘foot print’ reduced

Student Accommodation: key design principles
Know the residents: what do they do and what do they want? Create a sense of place: a living campus and a place to call home Design from the inside-out: focus on the user and the building’s operations
Response to Place and Context: use the siting as a design driver Flexibility: build in ability to change and adapt over time design in a modular way
