Chu Kochen College is an interior design for a renovated student dormitory at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China. The building houses about 1,600 students and was originally designed only for bedrooms. Several rooms were transformed to create lobbies, classrooms, self-study rooms, offices, exhibition spaces, recreational rooms, public kitchens and guest suites within a total area of 2,800 square metres. Natural stone, wood, white metal board and plaster are used in the public spaces. Glass walls and folding walls add daylight and flexibility.
