The interest in this project lies in designing the
community within the student dormitory. The
project site is in Shatin on a bucolic hillside on
a university campus. Making a residential com-
munity for 300 students, the program includes
150 dormitory rooms, multipurpose hall, game
room, study room, among other amenities. Bro-
ken down small living block volumes created an
intimate human scale living arrangement. The
concept of the transparent multipurpose hall
is a collegiate “courtyard” where it embodies
blocks together, one that follows closely to the
traditions of collegiate life. The space is wel-
coming, inviting, transparent physically and
conceptually to promote openness in education,
both socially and intellectually.
