Student Apartment Building
Vodička, Jan ; Drobníček, Ladislav (referee) ; Menšíková, Naděžda (advisor) ; Šuhajda, Karel (advisor)
Four-storey student apartment building fills a corner vacant lot in a compact city block. It’s placed on a busy street. Situating a café and a shop in the ground floor and a main entrance facing a tram stop is beneficial both for attracting passing people and for an easy access of residents. The volume composition is based on an analysis of the surroundings. It keeps the local height-level of the highest apartment buildings. There is a school-building right next door which has been kept in spatial dominance. The volume of the building is created with two intersecting blocks, each with different height – this creates a psychological tension in the corner position. The façades composition is based on two levels of scale; one is derived from a typical old apartment buildings’ window size and the second has its origin in the neighbouring school built in functionalistic style. There is a glass suspended façade preventing noise from outside to come in. It has a great impact on the building’s architecture. The building exterior is monochromatic with an exception of a few red-painted anchors holding the glass façade. The student apartment building’s design emphasizes a social contact between the residents. These can meet in a backyard, in a common room in ground floor, in a multilevel lounge with access to a roof terrace or simply on an exterior gallery connecting their flats.
