Description

Can the design of a university residence building enhance overall the student learning experience? Can it help to build community more broadly? And can the design of a university residence building act as a catalyst for positive change and renewal of the urban environment?

The Have a Nice Day building consists of mainly two parts. A public part with access for everyone and a student housing part for the students. Rather than making a conventional student housing project with the floors isolated from each other we have chosen to create a single space flowing from floor to floor throughout the student housing part, the "vertical livingroom". This creates a diversity in the spaces provided and emphasizes the connections between floors. The private sleeping units are minimized in order to give space to the large vertical livingroom. The public ground floors holds computers, rooms for group activities, gym and a swimmingpool. These are public spaces free for everyone to use and will serve as an important part of the neighbourhoods streetlife. So come on in!
