The reconstruction and conversion of a youth hostel into 19 individual student residences., Stavanger, 2003 Project-Team: SHS

Client: Stavanger Studentsamskipnaden

A thorough transformation was necessary because the volumetric dimensions of the original construction were deep and not ideal for its new purpose. Several operations were conducted to modify the volumetric aspects of the building, including the construction of an interior courtyard and party area, together with various incisions and extensions to the roofing. The interiour is designed with recycled materials: rails are made from laser-cut sheets, the lighting fitments from rear lights taken from derelict cars.
