Student accommodation / New Park, Kimberley, Northern Cape

New Park Campus Living

Located close to Sol Plaatje University on a 1,370 m² erf in New Park, Kimberley, this project responds to a clear brief: create student accommodation that follows the university’s architectural morphology at a smaller scale.

New Park Campus Living is designed to accommodate 40 students, with two students per room. Room dimensions were informed by the Minimum Norms and Standards for Student Housing at Public Universities Policy, with student comfort guiding the planning.

The entrance cuts into the solid mass of the southern façade. Simple lines and a restrained composition celebrate the durability of the materials, giving the building a clear and enduring presence.
