The University of Melbourne’s New Student Precinct will deliver a new series of student spaces that will include a diversity of social spaces, mixed-use retail, food and beverage outlets and increased contemporary study spaces for the whole campus community to enjoy. The aspiration and benchmark were set by The University of Melbourne from the onset to be one that is about building for community, sustainability, inclusiveness, and diversity, while at the same time recognising the commercial aspect of the New Student Precinct.
The 208 page Retail Tenancy Design and Fit-Out Guide is a product of immense collaboration between us Hue Studio, Architects EAT, The University of Melbourne and Donald Cant Watts Corke. We wanted to produce something that is easily digestible, something that’s less about glossiness and commercial but more like a beautifully illustrated design book. Our vision is a book that is graphically clean and neat, with bespoke illustrations, and carefully curated images that depict a contemporary version of a typical retail tenancy design guide, and of course how can we not include the iconic Melbourne Uni blue?!
