Student housing and amendity spaces for students attending San Jose State, San jose Community College, Santa Clara University, and ITT University


Circulation A vertical and horizontal circulation throughout the three towers are connected through amendity spaces. Diagonal circulation will act upon a structure for the towers. There will be a truss system that crosses from one end to the other end in order to create support systems for cantilevered spaces.

Amendity Spaces The amendity spaces will include public programs to the students such as study areas, social areas, a convenience store, gym, and also an open event center

Floor Plates The ceiling heights in the dorm rooms will be 15 foot high. The dorm rooms measure 15 foot by 20 foot. The toweres have an elegant form with the dimension of 50 foot by 100 foot. The students will have a prvate bathroom for each unit and a shared kitchen on each floor. Each floor will include 8 units.

Structural System A steel structure is established for this project with a truss system connected to the circulation system. A glass facade surrounds the towers in order to provide natural light and natural ventilation.
