This 120-apartment student residence is bold \u2013<\/em> both aesthetically and in the innovative prefabricated,\u00a0modular, lightweight timber technology of its construction. Angular roof forms, corrugated iron and Zincalume<\/span>\u00ae\u00a0<\/em><\/sup>cladding reference its location in Launceston\u2019s Inveresk Railway Workshops heritage precinct. Raw timber screens evoke the delicate river foliage of the flood-prone North Esk River adjacent to\u00a0the south. Raised above flood level, two three-story parallel apartment wings define and overlook scree<\/span>ned and greened social courtyards, capture outlooks to Inveresk and the city, and achieve optimal solar orientation. A diagonal desire line delivers pedestrians and cyclists through and to the site. A grand-scale entry portal punctuates and frames the main arrival point. Common rooms and the circulation core intersect and link facades and residential wings. The design promotes opportunities for interpersonal interaction and learning in the globalised information age, enhancing the student experience, sense of community, identity, safety and security. Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) principles achieve user comfort, a healthy environment, energy and resource efficiencies, and cost savings. The project construction technology combined prefabricated, lightweight timber framing with structural cross laminated timber. Modular apartments were assembled in a nearby warehouse, transported the short distance to site and craned into position achieving multiple procurement advantages.<\/span><\/p>\n Architect<\/strong><\/p>\n Morrison & Breytenbach Architects with Circa Morris-Nunn Architects<\/p>\n Contractors<\/strong><\/p>\n Hutchinson Builders<\/p>\n Consultants<\/strong><\/p>\n Structural engineer – Aldanmark Consulting Engineers<\/p>\n Civil consultant – Aldanmark Consulting Engineers<\/p>\n Hydraulic consultant – Engineering Services Tasmania<\/p>\n Services consultant – Engineering Services Tasmania<\/p>\n Fire consultant \u00a0– Red Fire<\/p>\n Building surveyor – Lee Tyers Building Surveyors<\/p>\n Quantity surveyor – Exsto Management<\/p>\n Landscape consultant – Lindsay Campbell Landscape Design<\/p>\n Acoustic consultant \u2013 VIPAC Engineers & Scientists<\/p>\n Timber consultant – Centre for Sustainable Architecture with Wood<\/p>\n ESD consultant – Morrison & Breytenbach Architects<\/p>\n Heritage consultant – Birrelli art + design + architecture<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Photographer<\/strong><\/p>\n James Morrison and Thomas Ryan<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1 Scone Street<\/a> | Bento Box<\/a> | Bonnet Hill Residences<\/a> | Break O’Day Community Stadium<\/a> | Brickworks Design Studio<\/a> | Clarence High School Sports Pavilion<\/a> | Devil’s Corner<\/a> | Dunalley House<\/a> | Five Yards House<\/a> | Garden Pavilion – Homage to a Benzoline Lighthouse<\/a> | Hatherley House Garden Pavilions<\/a> | Horse Shoe House<\/a> | Jenny’s House<\/a> | Last Workshop & Apartment Battery, Point<\/a> | New Town House<\/a> | (re)barn<\/a> | Sofia Otto’s Playground<\/a> | Stornoway<\/a> | The Corner Store<\/a> | The Leven Centre<\/a> | The Student Lounge<\/a> | Three Capes Track Cabins<\/a> | Trinity Hill Youth Accommodation & Training Facility<\/a> | UTAS – Student Centre<\/a> | UTAS, Tasmanian School of Business and Economics – Centenary Building<\/a> | UTAS Inveresk Residences<\/a> | Vodafone Contact Centre Hobart<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" UTAS Inveresk Residences This 120-apartment student residence is bold \u2013 both aesthetically and in the innovative prefabricated,\u00a0modular, lightweight timber technology of its construction.
