It's a self-contained world that students say they love. The building's sleek, modern interior was conceived and executed by Jason Wood and Kristin Jensen, specialists in residential and commercial interiors, though this was their first institutional project. Wood and Jensen were retained by EHS to turn a rather grim, empty, former produce warehouse into a comfortable place for students to live. That is how one should approach institutional housing. When one building has many different interiors, any piece of the environment can change.
Students feel very comfortable knowing there's another area if they get tired of where they are.
The industry will be designing student housing with more of an attitude and with a unique look, instead of just a bland uniform appearance that has always been used in the past. An architect had already divided the floors into large rooms, but nothing else had been done. The first thing they decided to do was devise a diverse color scheme. Now each floor has a different attitude from the one above it or below. For example, one floor might have halls and rooms done in a Southwestern feel, using terra cotta with beiges and blues.
