These semi-permanent student rooms stem from an educational project at the Technische Hogeschool. 224 units were built in six months, after three years planning and many procedural problems. Off-the-peg self bearing units were housed in a lightweight steel frame. Eight residences off a corridor shared sanitary facilities and a living-room/kitchen of 40 m2. Cheap building, clarity in planning, details, and the use of colour and material have resulted in an unqualified success.
