Student Housing – The Hive

This student housing project in Libeň encloses a courtyard and together with two other designs, creates a bay-like shape opening from the street. The building’s form responds to its surroundings – a cut on the south side makes room for a walkway leading to Světova Street. Outdoor staircases and walkways are designed to support a sense of community and connection to the shared courtyard, which also includes a café. The ground floor, partly sunken into the terrain, serves as a social space open to everyone. The roof is used as a shared terrace for the residents. Although the original idea focused on very compact apartments, the result still offers bright, pleasant, and comfortable living spaces.
