STUDENT HOUSING

Transformation of an office building in Amsterdam

The building is located in Amsterdam norht east in the district “Bos en Lommer”. The assignment concerns the design and execution of a transformation and renovation of an existing office building “Elsevier” into student housing. By destining the building as “accommodation for students” there is a possibility to anticipate on the enormous shortage of student housing.

The design is characterized by the ground and top floor which both will be used for business purposes. The main entrance for these business units is on the west facade. The floors are designed as student dwellings. Consisting both non-independent units and independent student units. The entrance of students is located on the public area on the east side.
