Designed by architect Nicolas Maugery, the Kobenhavn Student Center attempts to explore the impact of the development of a student housing project outside a campus. Located in a suburb of Kobenhavn, Denmark, doing so would allow a new daily life with the recreation of small shops and a new public building that creates a sense of cohesion between the generations. More images and architect’s description after the break.
The student residence is composed of 5 typical shaped houses with 2 and 3 floors, allowing 2 different kinds of studios: single bedroom and 2 peoples bedroom. If the shapes respect the traditional suburban area style, the fully wooden skin is clearly the mark of a contemporary building. To enhance connections and informal meetings between students, the first floor is like a base where a lot a different functions take place. Office spaces, Bike garage, an exhibition space managed by student association, a lobby and a leisure area.
