For over two decades, PBSA bedrooms have barely changed—yet students’ needs have moved on. That’s why A Designer at Heart and LOFT joined forces to develop Nestblok: a modular furniture system that reimagines student bedrooms from the ground up. Standard rooms with a bed, desk, and pinboard no longer reflect how students live. Today’s residents want privacy, comfort, and the freedom to make a space their own. Nestblok answers that call with adaptable furniture solutions—think movable desks, pull-out storage, foldable pieces, pegboards, and modular partitions—all tailored to support flexibility, comfort, and emotional well-being. Built using offsite manufacturing, early-stage prototyping, and modular design principles, Nestblok ensures quicker installations, reduced waste, and more budget-conscious customisation. It’s been developed with insights from students' surveys as well as designing over 20,000 rooms and trialled across 60+ layouts—making it a solution grounded in both experience and innovation.
In student living, real impact doesn’t start in the lounge—it starts in the room where students begin and end each day. Nestblok is designed to make that room smarter, more supportive, and ready for how students actually live.
