Student Housing Village, CSU Monterey Bay, Seaside, California

The abundant window openings of the private rooms of the Student Housing Village at CSU Monterey Bay focus on the spectacular ocean views, while the sloped clerestory windows of the common spaces capitalize on the area’s intermittent sunshine. The buildings’ single, double and four-person apartments combine with common study and lounge spaces to create a variety of environments for the students to study or relax. Built on fifty acres, the site landscaping includes drought-tolerant planting and a grey water system for irrigation.
