This project explores swimming pools as spatial instruments for mental wellbeing within a student accommodation context. Set within UTS Building 15, the proposal threads water through the scheme as a reflective, calming presence, arranging pools on every level to encourage everyday use as places of retreat and contemplation. The sensory qualities of shifting light, ripples, and reflections extend from shared pool decks into the private rooms, immersing residents in a continuous atmosphere of quiet and repose throughout the building.
