Chrysalis - the pupal stage of butterflies; a transitional stage (in life).
This student housing project is inspired by the concept of seasons. With time, one experiences changes in the year through the nature planted around the spaces, which are centered around the Common Brown Butterfly and the Kangaroo Grass.
'Chrysalis' aligns with the idea of how students experience changes and growth during their university life. This focus on nature and the endemic species adds an ecological connection for the students to the local environment and its seasonal transformations. It aims to create a space beyond just being an accommodation.

On the ground floor, users are directed around a pathway planed with vegetation to attract biodiversity, such as the Common Brown Butterfly.
