Design Statement:
ArtScape Student Accommodation in Surry Hills is a reimagination of Scape Student Accomodation through a new interior design concept. Drawing from the site’s rich context, including the history, environment and people, the design is welcoming, unique and comfortable for students. In a time of a national call for country in Australia, this design draws from the site’s past as Artspace Gallery in the 1980s; the gallery showcased Indigenous artwork that commercial galleries refused to showcase. Due to an increase in both domestic and international students, the concept of this design is diversity: diversity in the people and the Australian environment. The design is elevated through its Australian-sourced furniture, unique and sustainable materiality, and captivating story experienced throughout the interior.
