Info

In the densely populated Düsseldorf district Derendorf, 111 apartments for students and young professionals have been built. Within close proximity there is the university campus, the local supply center on Rather Straße and a good connection to public transport. The new building will close a gap between buildings at Merziger Straße and will confidently fit into the street. Two building joints, the two entrances and the staircases divide the house into three sections. The apartments each have a balcony, a shower room and a pantry-kitchen.
