Concept Started from students’ activity, the floor layout can be saperated to three hierarchies: “private”, “semi-private” and “public”. Different from traditional dormitory, the public space infiltrate into every living unit in the building, which makes interaction happen.
The dislocation of the L-shape living units create the uneven elevation and greenbelt in between.
