Student residence "Am Postkeller"

Weiden, DE

A residence is created with easy repetitive means: The sequence of exterior, interim and interior areas creates a distinct identity.

From the public parking lot to a covered passage beneath the wooden "Long Living Rooms" of the students residence to the university buildings. From here, the observer has interesting views of the entrance patios and gardens, the open staircase on the other hand serves as a meeting place.

The hotel-like rooms seem larger than they are, transparent shower walls provide daylight to the interior. The wooden facade panels with integrated tables, shelves, windows and ventilation elements create space, order and atmosphere.
