The main student accommodation facades are designed as a collection of ‘pods’ in a variety of tones. The Swanston Street / Little La Trobe Street corner is celebrated with a stack of double height metallic blocks which have been staggered as they rise, to counterpoint the uniformity of the remainder of the facades.
