Rhodes – Lund
Sustainable Architecture for Student Housing of the Future
The Rhodos student housing project in Lund combines modern architecture with a clear focus on sustainability. The buildings are designed using materials and solutions built to last—both technically and architecturally.
Stainless steel cable mesh complements the wooden structures and creates secure railings without overwhelming the architecture. The result is a solution where transparency and the feel of the materials work in harmony.
Wire mesh in railings, walkways, and staircases
As part of the project, Webnet was installed on railings, walkways, and staircases. The transparency of the wire mesh preserves light and a sense of space while providing robust protection against falls.
The solution creates a cohesive architectural whole in which security is integrated into the building without dominating its appearance.
Stainless steel wire mesh in a wooden frame
Webnet stainless steel mesh was mounted on round steel bars integrated into the wooden frames. The combination of wood and wire mesh creates a light and natural look, while providing the structure with the strength and durability required in harsh environments.
The wire mesh is essentially maintenance-free and has a very long service life, making it a solution that aligns well with the project’s overall sustainability goals.
