MULTICOMFORT STUDENT CONTEST

Obviously, everyone has its own individual preferences. For us, multicomfort is giving the user the opportunity to make his/her own choices. They know best what their wishes and needs are or will be in the future. With our design, we give them the opportunity to compose their own multicomfort and offer a variety of options to the end user on all levels. This in order to let them compose their own modular living unit and focus on what is important to them. Because of this we’ve created two types of buildings. An introvert and an extrovert building type. The introvert building is suitable for people who live quietly, and like to be on their own or with a few friends. Nevertheless social contact and control is still guaranteed. The extrovert building is organized more towards its surroundings and invites people to enter it. The open and public spaces are situated on the outside zone and therefore visible from the park. 

 

Furthermore, we offer a lot of possibilities for living inside this building complex. The units are composed of various elements that can be placed along and above each other like modules. In this way a solution is possible for every wish. We always work with a wet module, a sleeping module and a living module. Besides these we’ve also created an intermediate piece that can be used for a variety of functions. After choosing the different modules, size and the organization of them, the unit can be inserted. This is done by sliding the insulated wooden modules into the industrial concrete framework. The elements are prefabricated and are therefore of excellent manufacturing quality and shorten the building process considerably. This way of working also refers to the industrial character of the site. A framework consisting of concrete and steel that is filled in by wooden boxes. These units stand for the transient of today's society, while the structural framework reflects the robust industrial character of the site.
