The design of each type of accommodation unit is devoted to great attention in order to use the available space in the best possible way, which is why the furnishing was almost as important as the construction, and the designed furniture is adapted to the specific situations.

Similarly, despite the strict default parameters, the goal was to create quality common spaces. In the ground floor of the pavilion there are classrooms, infirmary, trim halls, student laundry, and on the highest floors common living room with kitchen and terrace.

The entrance spaces of 4-bed units are opened to the corridors open with large semi-transparent glazed rocks that provide a fragmented insight into the student s everyday life and the space of communication transformed into a space of interaction and socializing. Prefabricated reinforced concrete façade elements and visible concrete in the interior are the answer to the intensity of use as well as the specifics of the project task in relation to the weather conditions on the site.
