Student Village

The brief was to design short-term, modular accommodation for Swinburne students in need of emergency housing or attending academic events at the university. The spacious, prefabricated design can be replicated with ease, offering an efficient alternative to conventional student housing which is often cramped and poorly designed.

The design keeps students in mind, providing a mix of spaces that offer privacy or socialisation. North-facing windows let in much-needed natural light. Students also have access to the balcony & rooftop garden for fresh air and sunlight to help improve their well-being during busy study periods.

The Student Village is conveniently located within a 5-minute walk of Hawthorn Campus.
