Col James Student Accomm. Good Design Awards
“The architecture of the Col James Student Accommodation Building is no short of successful. The design responds to Redfern’s rich, urban conditions both past and present. Turner deserves high praise for their innovative composition of both internal and external living and communal spaces for students. They have expertly overcome many challenges including the considerable constraints of the project's complex, inner-city urban site.”
