Entry Description

The dormitory accommodates up to 20 scholarship students. In a densely populated residential area, this project aims to propose a new way of living in the city where students living here can lead a rich life in harmony with nature.
By generously utilizing the expansive grounds to construct roofs encircling courtyards and minimizing physical boundaries between spaces, the design allows for various activities of the dormitory residents to be accommodated based on their preferences and provides flexibility to adapt to future changes in usage.
