Design Statement:

The overall aim of this project is to create ‘micro architecture’ that considers the notion of habitation and overall human occupation. Specifically, I have chosen to work on student accommodation that focuses on the student, their work/ life balance and how it can be incorporated into a space. To do this considerations such as what are the necessities of a student? How can this design be made to change the idea of student accommodation? How can it be sustainable and minimise waste? I want the space to consider the student's life and focus on study and relaxation. And how materials and design can be used sustainably to create a home. The design is to be inspired by my precedents as well as existing designs. This will help guide the project in the right direction

​

Some constraints to this project include:
- Tackle the notion of habitation and make some informed design decisions based on the needs of human occupation
- Square area of living space for your structure should not exceed 120 square metres
- Consider the human in the sustainable equation
