Conceptual Housing For T.U.
Conceptual housing project combines studios and residences into a single hybrid that merges daily campus activities directly to students’ private lives . The idea is applied to the technical university
of Vienna, Austria, particularly the architecture department. within the multi-story complex, designed spaces work to seamlessly integrate university studies into pupils’ lives in every way possible — because architecture school doesn’t do enough of that already. the building contains several main areas, predominately a large basement working space, and two drawing rooms. surrounding the central atrium, which is present on all floors but the basement, the flow moves spirally upwards. alongside is an ongoing collection of book-filled shelves, and private dormitories.
Each residence is able to be arranged to the wants and needs of the student, thanks to an open-layout and moveable elements and shelving. in the basement, the working space provides direct connection to vienna’s subway, as well as the danube canal. alber+grandits’ concept enables architect-hopefuls to live and breath their everyday training, doing so via a constructive, catered home environment.

Anastasia Andreieva is an accomplished Architectural Projects Editor at Arch2O, bringing a unique blend of linguistic expertise and design enthusiasm to the team. Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
