独特立面设计，强调个体与群体共生的青年公寓

The façade towards the street shows an abstract pattern of brickwork with vertical glass openings. Two enormous (maximum glass dimensions) glass openings are contrasting with this mainly closed façade and reveal the communal living rooms.

The building opens up to the other side with the enclosed outdoor spaces. Wooden facades and concrete planes reveal the atmosphere of the interior.

Each sleeping room is unique, just like each youngster is unique. This is emphasized by the different colors in the interior and the different windows. The vertical apertures have different bevel edges allowing the youngsters to have different sight lines to the surrounding wood land scenery.

We had the idea that the stones should not be too smooth and shiny. That would not match with the texture of the surroundings and the youngsters. So we selected a brick with a the texture that has small vertical cuts and is relatively dark.

The texture and dimensions of the stone perfectly express the social (youngsters) and physical (woodland) context of the building.
