The building

For the CU-building, brick strips have been chosen. In this way the building correlates well with the rest of Strijp-S. The columns to support the CU0building are going to be made from steel. This material creates an industrial detail to the building.

In this section the ordering of the building is clearly visible. The wooden construction is partly visible in this section.

On the ground floor in Microlab is an arcade located. This is in line with the indoor garden of the CU-building. In the CU-building is also an cafeteria located, open for visitors of Strijp-S and people from Microlab and the CU-building. Furtmore, there is a bicycle storage for the residents of the CU-building.  

On the first floor in Microlab is an open meeting space, with voids to the arcade. In the CU-building, this is the first floor with apartments.  

Floors 5 till 7 are for apartments only. Part of the building is above Microlab.  

The south elevation gives a clear indication of how the two buildings relate to each other. Also the horizontal alignment is very clear.  

This perspective shows the new adaptions made to the west facade of Microlab. The impressive change is the curtain wall. The curtain wall is intergraded to create interaction between Microlab and the CU-building.
