Green Up Design

Green-Up Design Inc (GUDI) designed Student Green-Upartments (SGU), a net-zero student apartment located in Caulfield South that accommodated 73 dwellings from the second to fifth floors. SGU provides ecofriendly student housing for predominantly international and interstate students who are pursuing tertiary education in Victoria. The ground level is comprised of 3 different businesses, one of which was an IGA minimarket that provided convenient access to necessities for residents of SGU. A skill development centre and a language centre occupied the remaining commercial units, providing an opportunity for residents of SGU and the community to learn new skills. Furthermore, we incentivised residents to lower their energy usage by designing an app that allows them to track their usage and earn rebates on their rent.
