INTERIOR DESIGN PROJECT FOR NIDO STUDENT. CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT.
A Designer at Heart is in charge of the design of communal areas & bedrooms for a student accommodation in Dresden, Germany.
We took advantage of the concrete structure leaving it exposed to create a mode mature industrial chic style. To be consistent with this style we used only 5 colours. Along with the grey, there are the timber light beige, yellow for the seating, some more seating in shades of blue, and finally some greenery. Through plants and moss walls, we also added an element of biophilia to make the space more relaxing. This look & feel has been implemented also through textiles for the seats and we topped it all off with some bespoke lighting to give the space an even more refined look. The combination of colours, materials, and lighting gives this interior a truly unique personality.
For this communal area's design, the brief was to create a space that felt like a co-working but suitable for events too. The design was developed by an initial concept by Imtiaz Ashraf. We chose the stage seating combining it with a mezzanine floor to optimise the double-height space. The stage seating thus has the double function of leading to the mezzanine and being available for events. The area and wall in front of it have been kept clean so it will be possible to use projectors or simply host talks. Plugs have been included as well so that the seating can be used for casual study or group activities. As for the rest, we opted for a mix of high and regular tables for different kinds of work and study, a kitchenette, and fully-equipped meeting rooms.
