Several months ago we wrote about the new emergence of innovative co-living solutions: development projects where shared living spaces and amenities are attached to private sleeping areas to create a more communal (and affordable) urban housing experience. Many responded that it sounded like grown-ups living in a college dormitory, so it’s only natural that new names in the student housing market are taking this concept one step further.
The Student Hotel is one such project that is using a new model for delivering housing solutions for students globally. With six locations in The Netherlands, France and Spain, they offer a hybrid of long-stay student accommodations with the look and feel of a boutique hotel. The branding and design of public spaces are by cutting edge design firm ...,staat | Amsterdam.
The private bedrooms are fully furnished and arranged in suites around communal kitchens, along with various shared spaces such as social lounges, game centres and study areas which encourage greater student interaction and collaboration. Not affiliated with any specific universities, students from various learning institutions and fields of study can make connections in an environment that fosters co-habitation and a greater sense of community.
