Contextual Analysis

Some halls are often more favourable than another due to their wide variety of options. However, in the case of student villages, it would be ideal to create a space that provides as many options for students to reside in as well as ensure that it is at minimal costs to live in.

This analysis provides a general understanding of what the proposed project should contain as a minimum.

The following criteria for amenities is outlines below.

Through exploration of existing student housing, there are aspects of living that improve liveability and education. These involve:

- Private spaces include a bed, storage and study desk

- Shared facilities include, kitchen, laundry, garden

- Communal spaces increase social and entertainment

- Guest room reduce the necessity for private rooms to require a spare bedroom

The selected site should be located within central city, allowing for students to access their education with ease. The local amenities should include:

- access regular public transport

- access to healthcare

- access to shops

- access to restaurants and cafes

- access to community events

Having these accessible to the student village will provide an extension of the liveability for students
