Student's little city

Economical and functional student housing as an extension to the building on the outskirts of the Petřiny Housing Estate. I placed residential units made from shipping containers on the roof of the building. Arranged either in a pattern or randomly, they form smaller, private “neighborhoods” of three to four apartments. Students access these units by direct paths that lead straight to their homes. Together, the apartments form a small community — a kind of student village — where young people can live on their own terms, which is often what they desire most at this stage in life. Around the entire perimeter of the building, is a second "skin" — a perforated steel structure made from profiles that serve both shading and screening purposes.
