The facade of this student hostel is articulated by numerous rhythmically projecting and set-back private loggias encased in laminated panels. The site has an unusual form: it is roughly 200 m long in a north-south direction and only 11 m wide. A small garden divides the structure into two parts which are linked by a narrow bridge at second-floor level. On the ground floor are public areas, communal spaces and the administration, while the nine upper storeys contain 192 flats for students.
The strip has two faces. The street front is distinguished by the basket-like loggias with different sizes and aspects. On the western side are open access galleries that lead to the dwellings. Drawn over this facade is a layer of expanded-metal mesh which allows an unimpeded view to the city centre.
To optimize the design and construction of the roughly 25 m2 flats, the planning was based on a series of simple modules. The entrance area, bathroom, clothes cupboard, kitchen strip, writing table and bed, for example, are the same in all the dwellings
