Scape Kensington is a 20-storey vertical student accommodation project in one of Sydney’s university precincts. The development is in the prominent location of Anzac Parade, Kensington.
Infinity Constructions was commissioned to complete this D&C project for Scape. The high-rise development comprises 308 beds over 20 storeys, including a substantial basement. The Ground Level is a mixture of a lobby, communal spaces, retail, and back-of-house areas. The Podium is a mix of student accommodation and communal spaces, as well as a commercial kitchen that services the building.

Ecological sustainability will be achieved through the Green Star rating system where a score of 5 will be delivered in the built form and in ongoing operations by Scape.
The interiors comprise extensive joinery, lighting, and a variety of colourful finishes which identifies this as the leading Scape offering for international and local students.
Scape Kensington – Innovative Vertical Student Accommodation
Vertical student accommodation projects like Scape Kensington offer numerous technical advantages in both building and design. By maximising vertical space, these developments provide high-density living solutions on smaller urban footprints, optimising land use in prime university precincts. Advanced construction methodologies, including prefabrication and modular elements, enhance efficiency, reduce material waste, and streamline on-site assembly.
Vertical developments also support superior energy efficiency, integrating passive design principles, optimised ventilation, and high-performance façades that enhance thermal insulation.
From a design perspective, vertical accommodation fosters a strong sense of community through strategically placed communal areas, rooftop terraces, and multi-use spaces that encourage interaction.
