New Asia College Student Hostel
The Chinese University of Hong Kong

2018 - 2024 (expected completion)
WAF Future Project Award








Making a residential community on a bucolic hillside for 300 students, the program includes 150 dormitory rooms, multipurpose hall, game room, study room, etc. The design intention is to maintain the sense of intimacy and close relationship between the students - the project allows for opportunities where students can meet and encounter, to learn from each other through the way the architecture is designed.

A series of small blocks that spread throughout the site is created - by breaking down the hostel block into small volumes, the project reacts to the human scale and the natural setting.
