Design a student housing community that caters to their function as well as psychological needs. The main challenge to be addressed is to find ways of making the design economical but in a charming way. This housing must be designed to cater to a diverse group of students, so access and layout must be planned accordingly.

The units must be designed in a modular manner so that they promote equality. The function of the housing must be achieved in an inventive spatial design with a good form aesthetic. Creating safe and comfortable spaces must be a top priority. Community housing is all about group living and it is necessary to provide ample opportunity to occupants to engage with nature as well as their peers. Isolation and depression is a common issue in students and this can be tackled with social design.
