The Dormitory of Chu Kochen College is an interior renovation project of an existing dormitory building at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou.

Originally the building was exclusively used for bedrooms. During the renovation, a wide range of additional, much-needed spaces for collegiate everyday life was created within the existing structure of the building.

The dull and monotonous appearance of the original rooms gives way to a wide range of distinctly designed spaces, characterized by common materials, simplicity and functionality.

Custom-made furniture in wood, anthracite and white adds to the elegant and atmospheric appearance of the new spaces.

This project has been longlisted in the civic and cultural interior category of Dezeen Awards 2021.
