Nedlands Student Accommodation
Perth, Western Australia
Nedlands Student Accommodation repositions a corner site within Perth’s inner-west as a refined, mixed-use address shaped by landscape, light, and community. A café at ground level anchors the building to the street, creating a generous and active edge that extends the public realm and contributes to the daily rhythm of the neighbourhood.
Above, student accommodation is paired with a limited collection of penthouses, carefully arranged to balance density with a sense of openness and retreat. Deep balconies, operable screening, and integrated planting soften the envelope, establishing a consistent dialogue between interior and exterior while providing shade, privacy, and seasonal variation.
The architecture is defined by a restrained material palette of concrete and timber, articulated through a clear structural rhythm and softened by layers of vegetation. This approach grounds the building within its coastal context while introducing a contemporary, enduring identity. Upper levels open to expansive terraces and landscaped zones, offering elevated living environments that engage with distant views and natural light.
A measured response to site and setting, the project contributes to the evolving fabric of Nedlands balancing activation and, durability and warmth, density and calm.
