1. The project: The Student Hotel Delft

The Student Hotel will offer hotel rooms for various target groups and student residences (short and long stay). The hotel will also have a gym, bar-restaurant, library, gaming and lounge spaces and co-working areas. It will become a meeting space for tourists, business travellers, students and young professionals. The Student Hotel group, pioneers of hybrid, high-quality co-living, co-working hospitality and student residences offers a unique location for a fast-growing international community. The Student Hotel in Delft will open in September 2020.

Byldis supplied 303 sandwich precast elements for The Student Hotel Delft. We also supplied column sections, parapets, ceiling plates and precast prefab piers. We also took care of the assembly and facade finishing.

3. Why was Byldis chosen?

Based on the collaboration between Byldis and BAM Bouw en Techniek, Byldis won the commission to create a new design for the facades and to build the The Student Hotel project in Delft. Together with the architect, BAM carried out various facade studies, but there was a preference to work with precast concrete.

BAM is responsible for the integral realisation of the design. We then joined forces to find a solution for the facade of the building

4. Challenges & solutions

Precast facade design
The facade of the building initially had a standard (traditional) design. This facade had to be converted to a precast concrete design. This meant that a completely new facade had to be designed in terms of technique and appearance. Byldis Engineering was able to develop a good design together with the architect.

Coordination
As Byldis worked together with other parties on this project for the frames, the necessary coordination was also required to install them. The supplier ultimately built the frames directly into the elements at the Byldis factory location in Tilburg so that this did not have to be done on the tight construction site.
