student housing

on a corner plot of land between the busy hausdorffstrasse and august-bierstrasse in the bonn's district of kessenich, the planning group bonn developed 28 residential units for students in two buildings with a living space of around 1000 m2 .

a four-storey reinforced concrete construction with a recessed attic storey and a slightly rising roof along hausdorffstrasse and a narrow, flat-roofed building on august-bierstrasse integrated the residence into the urban context.

focal point for the entire composition is the corner of the plot, where a bent staircase shaded by trees, creates an ensemble with the adjacent facades of both buildings, forming a small square through which both buildings are accessed.
