Student House in Geneva
Situated next to the approach to Geneva railway station, this striking high-rise strip follows the line of the tracks, which accounts for its slightly curved form. The plinth structure at its base is a newly built five-storey car park, the lowest tier of which is at street level. Located on the entrance level are various functional realms and communal facilities. On the floors above are dwellings for exchange and guest students as well as for visiting professors. The housing ranges from 25 m² one-room flats and shared accommodation up to 115 m² in area to conventional family flats.
