This project is an energy efficient student housing complex located in Trondheim, Norway, using colors and materials as identifying markers for its inhabitants.
This development was to be built on a site where the original plans called for regular housing development. After being found better suited for student accommodation, the new plan consisted of 612 student housing units distributed in six buildings ranging from five to seven stories.
The houses are placed in order to create an open, central outdoor area stretching north to south from a new office building towards a local church from the 1950’s.
Primarily, the units are organized as housing communities, with six people sharing kitchens, living areas, wardrobes and bathrooms. In addition, each floor has two couple’s apartments with separate kitchens and bathrooms. The shared bathrooms are prefabricated modules set into site-built, curved walls. The primary circulation is planned around these elements, allowing for a screened access from the housing units.
An important aspect of the design was giving the relatively large building volumes a facade concept and materials that were both simple and appealing. Coloured render was chosen as the main material, along with wooden cladding in the lower floors, near the entrances and towards the common outdoor areas. The cladding introduces a smaller scale with a tactile material that interacts with the vegetation and benches. By distributing the window placement within a scheme, the volumes appear varied, yet part of a whole.
Because the buildings conform to the passive house standard, special considerations are taking with regard to daylighting and views. In the housing units, tall and narrow windows spanning from floor to ceiling were chosen to emit light as high up in the room as possible, while still allowing for reflections in the floors. This also leads to great views of the surroundings. In the common rooms, larger windows with sunscreens are used.
