Situated near the city centre, this seemingly monolithic structure takes up the line of a neighbouring building erected a few years earlier. The design and urban clarity of the development are based on the architects’ desire to establish a logical order. On top of the homogeneous, extensively glazed plinth volume, which houses communal functions, are two three- and four-storey tracts, containing 56 student dwellings. The ground floor forms a horizontal and vertical linking element. The main entrance, together with a large shopping area, is situated on the south side, which is oriented to the park and the main road beyond, thus connecting the student realm with the urban surroundings. Beneath the two dwelling tracts are circulation areas, technical services and ancillary functions, including a laundry and internet working spaces.
