Offering 400 beds, breakout spaces, and common facilities, this project balances amenity with a sensitive response to its natural surroundings. Low-lying, 3-storey buildings emerge from landscaped courtyards and incorporate either a 5-bedroom apartment or cluster of 5 studios to suit different living arrangements. DIfferentiated by coloured louvres that conceal rooftop services, the buildings are united by a sweeping village green providing views of, and transitioning into, the broader campus.
