Task - High-rise residential building with subsidized apartments and privately financed units on the top floors

Solution - Some multi-storey common rooms are distributed across all floors and are located opposite the lifts. Internal communication between residents is stimulated by this vertical village street.

A reduced structural system enables flexible, expandable, interconnectable apartment layouts. The balcony zone is extended, articulating itself as a poetic facade play. Deep window recesses offer a sense of security.
