neighbouring residential scale. A zig-zag or sawtooth façade – designed as a response to local climatic conditions – maximises natural light and ventilation while maximising thermal comfort. Internally, these angled walls, floors, and ceilings are clad in timber, adding warmth and a sense of domesticity. At night, the glazed faces of the sawtooth design glow like lanterns, creating a striking presence on the street.
In the north block,‘ pigeonholes’ – voids in the façade where individual units have been omitted – introduce communal balconies and allow for natural ventilation. These punctuations break down the massing of the structure, creating a more human-scale expression and enhancing the sense of porosity. Public art, carefully integrated into the landscape, brings further
animation and scale to the courtyard and open spaces. These elements reinforce the social and spatial intent of the precinct: a campus that lives as much outdoors as in.
Student Living As with the earlier phases, accommodation in Phase Three caters to a mix of living arrangements- from solo units to shared apartments for 2, 3, or 4 students. The design makes slight tweaks and improvements to the facilities in the first two phases based on student feedback, but overall reflect the success of the accommodation offering.
Phase Three adds 218 rooms and over 300 beds to the precinct, with parking provided in the basement and lower levels. Security and
