Studio

A compact, self-contained home that keeps life simple. The open-plan layout puts living and sleeping in one easy space, with a soft curtain you can draw for privacy when people come over, and a private outdoor space to step out to between assignments. Clever built-in storage and double-glazed windows make it feel calm and roomy.

It's a low-fuss set-up for anyone who wants their own front door without paying for space they won't use. And you can live large beyond your apartment, with communal spaces for study, hobbies and entertaining, plus shared laundry facilities throughout the building.
