Located at the heart of The University of Tasmania\u2019s Sandy Bay Campus, the Student Lounge was designed to provide students with a dedicated but informal social and study space. With a mix of lounges, study nooks and booths, \u2018the Lounge\u2019 provides students with a range of individual and group learning areas encouraging appropriation. Key design strategies were to encourage movement paths through the campus, establish an identity on the Main Boulevard and provide an \u2018in between\u2019 space connecting the traditional library and the existing adjacent caf\u00e9. Key to the design is a plywood joinery spine that splices the originally open plan space into two parts. The central joinery item is manipulated to suit standing and sitting study and encourage conversation between the rear study \u2018caves\u2019 and large open-plan area. A robust palette of plywood and concrete complements the raw materiality of the existing building. Colour is boldly applied with dark, cavernous spaces to the rear, graduating to lighter open spaces at the front of the building. A cross motif (X marks the spot) is playfully applied throughout the space as joinery handles, door cut-outs, tabletop connections and as floor decals.<\/p>\n
