Studio Modijefsky designs all communal spaces and apartment base concepts for Schouls in Leiden
Studio Modijefsky proudly contributes to Schouls, one of two high-rise residential buildings shaping a new landmark development at Lammeschans in Leiden. Together with its sister building Zirro, Schouls forms part of an ambitious project offering 780 one- and two-bedroom apartments across 46,772 m² of residential space, supported by 1,600 m² of commercial program.
Schouls is more than just a place to live; it’s designed as a layered experience of connection and comfort. Public, semi-public, and private spaces are interwoven throughout the architecture, gradually transitioning from the outside world into the residential core. This thoughtful spatial choreography is brought to life through communal areas that encourage interaction, relaxation, and a shared sense of home.
Studio Modijefsky was invited to design all shared amenity spaces — 904 m² of interior and 276 m² of exterior communal zones — ranging from welcoming lobbies to outdoor terraces and multifunctional lounges. In addition, the studio developed a refined base design for the 422 apartments, each between 50 and 70 m², ensuring a cohesive atmosphere throughout the building.
With a bold yet timeless approach, Schouls represents a new kind of residential living: expressive, inclusive, and designed to support the rhythms of modern urban life.
