Jackson Clements Burrows architects have completed a student accommodation project at La Trobe University in Victoria, Australia.
The design consists of a large-scale mass-timber building and has been shortlisted in the Housing category of the 2021 Dezeen Awards. The facilities can accommodate up to 624 student residents and are built around a central courtyard.
The goal was to create a space where students could comfortably and swiftly move around the complex. To accomplish this, the designers built two semi-circular buildings that face into a courtyard - creating a private and enclosed environment. To ensure the residences are accessible, a series of walkways and pathways were incorporated into the landscaping. Moreover, the facade is painted in bright and colorful panels, adding a warm and inviting outdoor atmosphere.
