Reserl in the south of Munich

The investor, the operator and the project team planned a student residence that that would deliver a whole new level of service, greatly exceeding normal student expectations. The concept is targeting the needs of international students in particular. There should also be a special solution with regard to washing. A communal laundry room in the basement was out of the question. Rather, an attractive washing area in the public area of the residence was to be set up. The area was to be designed to look inviting and energise students so that instead of the task of doing their laundry being a chore for them, it became an opportunity to meet other residents, study or just have a coffee together.

The WeWash Care solution was implemented in connection with this new automated laundry system review. For this purpose, six WeWash washing machines and dryers were each set up. In order to implement the design concept, the Munich office collaborated with the Designkonzept company. Waschlounge 4.0 is the result. Thanks to the attractive design of the washing area, the focus is not on laundry but on a shared service. The washing machines and dryers are integrated into a surrounding whose design matches the theme of the building. Various designs such as rainforest, flower meadow or universe give the users a sensation of being in a different place.

The users are able to optimally operate this innovative communal laundry service, which adjusts to their rhythm. Being able to book and reserve the devices prevents a queue from forming at the machines. If the laundry is done and the students are in the middle of a conversation or their work, WeWash sends them a friendly reminder that their laundry is ready for pick up. Billing takes place conveniently through the app and, thus, eliminates the need for small change. This is in tune with the spirit of the times.

In the newly founded Wasch-Lounge, students have the option of washing their laundry and chatting with their fellow students at any time. The WeWash solution promises students the highest level of comfort together with an innovative design. Because the students consider using the digital offer as part of their everyday life, the service was immediately accepted without the need for further explanation. Best design combined with best possible functionality. That’s exactly what today’s users expect from a modern service.
