1:200 plan

Here's my plan, without anything added in photoshop because my blog seems to have a problem with that... so there should be trees, grass and benches to the south of the apartments...

student room...an example I like

An example Jan showed me of student accommodation in Virginia University... I really like the idea of a bed raised off the ground allowing other things to happen underneath...in this case it creates a cosy study space and make space for a fold out couch where the bed was in the original plan.

Site plan, showing the most direct walking routes to and from the colleges, train/bus station and bus stop. In purple are the buildings that are unused, to let or for sale, possible sites of intervention along these routes.

Idea...

to start project from small scale and work up in scale, by designing room to kitchen/living to collective areas


design to a comfortable minimum

eg. Corbusier's cabanon, Sejima's house in plum grove etc.


have something special in each?


why?????

to challenge standard of double bed ensuite

so as not to be wasteful

to see if 500 students can fit comfortably on site
