Architecture & Interiors

With deep roots in Carlton’s Italian heritage, Bouverie brings the neighbourhood’s vibrant character to life, modelling sustainability and community.

Wherever you are in the world, student accommodation exudes a distinct vibe which goes beyond cultural diversity – it’s also about the mix of memories, dreams, and future plans each resident brings. Wes Anderson’s approach to subject and style aligns perfectly with the layered experience of student living. His films are a welcoming window into worlds where a shared sense of childhood nostalgia and adulthood curiosity can flourish. Inspired by this connection, we created warm environments full of retro colours and neat, symmetrical details.

The design is all about bringing people together. The ground floor opens up to the street, blending seamlessly with laneways. Upstairs, a party mezzanine offers a lively social space, while the solar array on the roof reinforces the building’s commitment to green energy. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a space where students can make lasting memories, share experiences, and enjoy the best of Carlton’s past and future.
