The UTAS Student Hub on the Hobart campus is nearing completion in the lead up to ‘O’ week. We are excited to see all the joinery items start to take shape and divide up the large space. The key design strategies were to strengthen movement paths, provide students with varied study nooks for individual and group learning and allow the social space to spill out onto the main boulevard.
The key concept for lighthouse was to design a platform for winter living. The building gestures towards the sun from behind, yet orients users towards the Freycinet Peninsula to the south. For the clients, a desire to sit with the sun on their backs looking down the coastline was what shack living and a home away from home was all about. Stay tuned for more pics.
