For our feasibility study, we propose to build a timber-frame prototype on the Rhein-Mosel campus of the Koblenz University of Applied Sciences. The prototype takes the form of a superstructure built over a university parking lot. The top three floors of the basement-free building feature apartments conceived for two people. A large common room is planned for each floor. The “floating” buildings have very little impact on the university campus parking lot.
