DDS+ won the open call for Université de Namur

A sports base, a place to live above.
The UNamur project combines a sports hall and 85 student housing units in a compact and legible composition. The superposition of functions, made possible by the timber-frame construction of the student housing, frees up generous permeable and planted outdoor spaces.
Here, voids matter as much as built volumes.

Enhancing natural daylight across all spaces — student housing as well as shared facilities — has guided the design.
