BOY'S DORMITORY

The project is conceived as an arena for living. Programmatic facility of the dormitory is set around a circular open courtyard subjected for diversified uses like playground, socialization and other communal activities. In linear type dormitory some part of building becomes isolated while in the circular shape all segments have visual contact among each other, which is the beginning point for communication. Rather than an isolated residual facility the design encourage for sharing values among the occupants.

Functional module with a circular array shapes up the building form. Above the building entry approach, functional module at upper level has been omitted at a gradual manner that assures proper air flow during warmer seasons and also provide view towards the horizon from any place of the dormitory. Exterior monotony has been worked out through the veranda treatment with alternative solid and void.
