Text description provided by architect.
This multi-story student residence hall, designed by K-architectures, accommodates 234 apartments.
The design consists of three separate buildings connected through a series of delightful external staircases.
The building presents a graphic façade that is rendered in black and white.
The spaces created between the buildings were turned into garden spaces with tall and hardy vegetation.
This creates a nice buffer zone for the residents.
