1st Prize in an international competition for Germany's most frequented Youth Hostel in Munich.
Graft‘s design for the modernization of Germany‘s oldest youth hostel in Munich sees itself as part of the current design discussion of a new generation of hostels in Bavaria. Here, the main focus is the solution
of specific challenges for hostels in the context of an urban metropolis. The small park in front of the building is integrated into the architectural concept as suggestive, usable „front yard“ of the hostel. The image of nature penetrates the organic architectural language of the building and, together with the patio design, becomes the main subject of the newly created place.

The image of nature penetrates the organic architectural language of the building and, together with the patio design, becomes the main subject of the newly created place.
The design condenses its creative ambitions as well as the visitor‘s attention, in the most readable public programmed areas of the facade. Large enough to accommodate a big number of visitors at the same time, the meeting place symbolizes the basic idea of „Experiencing Community“ and becomes the center of gravity of the entire system. A two-story foyer is incised to a „cut experience space“ and therefor becomes the formal business card of the building‘s architecture. This sculptural insert through the building opens up to the seminar cluster, the dining landscape upstairs and is the heart of the fl owing spatial movement towards the interior courtyard and the historic old part of the urban block.
