Grand Morillon Student Residence / Kengo Kuma & Associates + CCHE

The Grand Morillon Residence project, which will accommodate future students of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies - IHEID, proposes two buildings connected by a footbridge composed of housing for international students with services totaling 670 beds as well as a set of common areas and activities. A gradual walkway cut into the façade links the buildings from bottom to top. A true meeting place for the occupants, this walkway in wood tones contrasts with the façade entirely clad in aluminum and glass. Along the promenade, there is a shop, workrooms, an auditorium, a restaurant, a fitness center, and a relaxation room.
