Diversity in the housing mix as the key to meeting a variety of housing needs: With three new residential buildings in timber construction, OOS is creating living space on the Medicine Campus Davos that is designed equally for staff, patients and visitors.
The housing situation on the Medicine Campus Davos and in the surrounding village became increasingly difficult. The growing demand for living space for campus users increased the pressure on existing housing capacities. A comprehensive vision was developed that took into account the needs of the clinic and the general housing market.
The well thought-out mix of flats and studios provides a wide range of around 100 flats with a high quality of life. A central component of the vision was the flexibility for part of the future use.
This is particularly evident in the building complex in the immediate vicinity of the clinic. Designed as a staff house, the architecture of this ‘studio flats’ sub-project is characterised by compact and simple floor plans with a hotel-like character. The spacious studios are fully furnished. There are also communal rooms on the ground floor, which can also be used by the clinic.
The two other buildings contain a mixture of flats in various sizes. This will result in a total of 34 flats and 67 studios or guest rooms. Almost all of the flats have private outdoor areas, which increases the quality of life for the residents.
The buildings were arranged in such a way that the buildings to the north of the site can also enjoy an unobstructed and attractive view of the lake. The timber construction, simple construction methods and the targeted, efficient use of materials ensure that the construction method conserves resources.
