I would kill for a dorm room that size! I guess it is all relative. At my university, they would have tried to cram 3 beds into that room

Very interesting visually and programatically, but, frankly, inviting college students to hang several stories off the side of their dorm may be the worst idea ever.

I have to agree with Brown_ie and DCV. Student appartments are all over the world planned without squeezing a separate kitchen in the individual rooms. A big common kitchen with the possibility to sit together is the center of community life and is the most fequented place in student housing. You only go to your room to study or if you want your privacy. This would bring space in the rooms to ease the plan and would make the project cheaper, so that you could afford a common kitchen on each floor.
Nonetheless, I love the climbing wall.

I’d hate to live there, honestly. Each apartment is so small and the organization is terrible.

the wall is brilliant, but yeah the buildings are a tad ugly, but they could be a hell of alot worse, ang hey, its student housing! And by the way, im on campus in bath and id love a room that big, narrow space like that can be good for a study bedroom anyway, Id just hate to see the accommodation fees!

I like their playfulness. Architecture is often taken too seriously. I also like the reflected woods on the facade of the one project. However, in general I kind of think both buildings are a little bit ugly.
