It provides a space to continue your story, build a community, and offers residents everything they need for a well rounded life just a short walk from the city.
The Archive Melbourne has the perfect apartment type for students to shape around their lifestyle. Among others, the 1 Bedroom Apartment + Flexible Space provides students the privacy of a one-bedroom apartment, with full sized kitchen and living area, plus a separate, fully flexible additional space they can make their own. Below are some of the many reasons students are loving our 1 Bedroom + Flex apartment type this semester!
There is a fully enclosed private bedroom that is separate from the study and living areas for better rest and balance (with built-in wardrobes, curtains, ducted air conditioning, and heating). A dedicated flexible space off the living area that can be personalised to suit each student’s lifestyle. It is also ideal as a private study with built in desk and enclosed storage, or as a gaming room, creative space, reading retreat, relaxation zone, dressing room, or guest space. This space allows students the freedom to create a clear separation between study, rest, and personal time—supporting focus, wellbeing, and independence.
Enjoy the benefits and versatility of an additional room, without the higher cost of a two-bedroom apartment. Furnished and unfurnished options are available for convenience and flexibility. This unique layout gives students more than just a place to sleep—it gives them space to focus, recharge, and live comfortably throughout their studies.
From shared resident spaces including spacious lounges, dedicated co-working and study spaces, shared open kitchen and dining area, to podcast rooms, 24/7 gym, hot and cold plunge pools, saunas, and outdoor terraces, The Archive has it all. Plus, with regular resident events, onsite Resident Experience and Maintenance teams, The Archive makes for fun, easy living in Melbourne. Residents can choose from a variety of high and low-floor apartment options. Furniture can be included, making it easy for students to move in right away without delay.
