The Design

About Chu Kochen College Design intérieur de résidence universitaire

Le Chu Kochen College est un projet d'aménagement intérieur portant sur la rénovation d'une résidence étudiante de l'Université du Zhejiang à Hangzhou, en Chine. Le bâtiment accueille environ 1 600 étudiants et n'avait été conçu à l'origine que pour abriter des chambres. Plusieurs pièces ont été transformées afin de créer des halls d'accueil, des salles de cours, des salles d'étude individuelle, des bureaux, des espaces d'exposition, des salles de loisirs, des cuisines communes et des suites pour les invités, sur une surface totale de 2 800 mètres carrés. La pierre naturelle, le bois, le panneau métallique blanc et le plâtre sont utilisés dans les espaces communs. Des parois vitrées et des cloisons pliantes apportent lumière naturelle et flexibilité.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: An existing dormitory building at Zhejiang University was renovated for the Chu Kochen Honors College. Originally the building which houses approximately 1,600 students was solely designed for bedrooms. Within this project several of these rooms were transformed to create the desperately needed additional spaces for living and learning. The aim of the college was to realise a model project which can be a prototype for upcoming dormitory projects.
Dimensions & Packaging: The design scope covers the interior design for a total area of 2,800 m2. A wide range of rooms for collegiate everyday life was created within the existing structure of the dormitory. The design includes various spaces like lobbies, classrooms, self-study rooms, offices, exhibition spaces, recreational rooms, public kitchens and guest suites.

Production Technology: Natural stone, wood, white metal board and plaster are used as the main materials in the public spaces. They are added by white tiles, anthracite fixtures and stainless steel according to the functional needs of the rooms. Linear lights, spots and indirect lighting create a bright and modern atmosphere. Track lighting rails allow adjustable illumination in special areas. Custom made furniture in wood, anthracite and white adds to the functional and elegant appearance of the rooms.
Design Challenge: Several rooms were combined to create larger spaces. Since the original building was exclusively designed for bedrooms, columns every 3.50 m had to be incorporated into the design. To lighten up the dark corridors formerly closed partition walls were replaced by glass walls. Folding walls and open spaces add to a higher flexibility and give the rooms a more generous atmosphere.
Research: Our aim was to create a flexible and long-living design, that would grant the students the highest benefits possible regarding space efficiency and usability. At the same time we also had to fulfill the university’s standards concerning safety, quality and budget. The result is a very well considered spatial distribution of the functions and the use of long-lasting, resilient materials.
Inspiration: The design is functional and minimalistic with simple, yet refined forms and a restricted palette of carefully selected materials. Each space is specifically designed for its purpose and has a distinct design. However the entire project is tied together by materials, simplicity and functionality.
Project Duration: The project started in August 2019 and finished in November 2020. It is located in Hangzhou, China.
Operation Flow: BIM was used throughout the whole design process, in order to combine interior design, furniture planning and lighting design to a holistic overall planning.
