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 central schedule. The windows run floor to ceiling, which in a building this exposed means light from three sides of the floor plate and, on the upper storeys, 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.
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.
- Your suite is yours to clean. The kitchen and the bathroom are the residents' responsibility; we do not provide a cleaning service.
- Rent is due on the first. Pre-authorised debit or e-transfer; no cash.
