Inside a suite
Floor-to-ceiling glass, and a thermostat you control.
Every suite has its own heating and cooling, set from a wall thermostat rather than a building-wide schedule. The windows run floor to ceiling, which in a building this exposed means light from three sides of the floor plate and, above the twentieth storey, an uninterrupted view west over the valley.
Kitchens are full size: a proper range and oven, a dishwasher, a microwave and enough counter for two people to cook without negotiating. Floors are wide-plank vinyl throughout, which survives student living better than anything else and is quiet underfoot.
House rules
Short, and actually enforced.
Shared living only works when the rules are few and everyone can count on them. These are all of them.
- Quiet from 11pm to 8am, every night, extended to all day during the two exam periods.
- No smoking or vaping anywhere on the property, balconies and stairwells included.
- Guests are welcome; overnight guests need suitemate agreement and a maximum of three consecutive nights.
- Clean the kitchen after you use it. Common-area cleaning covers the deep clean, not your pan.
- Pets in one-bedroom suites only, so nobody ends up living with an allergy they did not sign up for.
- Rent is due on the first. Pre-authorised debit or e-transfer; no cash.
