A house that houses LGBTI (lesbian / gay / bisexual / transgender / intersex) refugees and locals, and that integrates different types of housing: 3 shared integration flats for refugees and students, a retirement home for elderly LGBTI people, and 3 maisonettes in the attic. The goal is to have mutual assistance and exchange between the different groups of residents. Flexibility: If necessary, 2 of the shared flats can be combined and turned into a single unit. The shared flats in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floor could later be turned into two apartments accessible from the corridors (subsequent use).
