A student housing project for Boston University’s students abroad program in Sydney required a systematic response to a challenging brief. A requirement to accommodate 165 students on a site and within a massing envelope previously approved for 125 students, effectively demanded a 30% increase in planning efficiency. A unique solution was required. |
 |
Our solution involved carving out segments from the maximum allowable building mass thereby increasing the facade surface and exposing the interior to natural light and ventilation. |
 |
An efficient modular apartment layout was then developed, with sleeping and living spaces positioned in response to the varying qualities of each facade. A roof top terrace and garden compliment the individual living and sleeping spaces below and provide a location for the entire student and staff community to come together to socialise. |
