本案基地在東海大學男生宿舍區西北側邊緣地帶，為不規則狀。西北側面臨台灣大道人行道，有連續的圍牆與機車停車場分隔校園內外。校園內外約有3米的高低差。東南兩側則緊臨著男生宿舍院落。
東海大學創校初期的男生宿舍，以延展的合院為主要設計理念，虛空間才是主體，目的在讓師生悠遊其中，探索人與自然的關係。我們希望新宿舍能融入「博雅」精神，跳脫封閉的宿舍概念，納入更多「家」的感覺。同時善加利用與台灣大道、機車停車出入口的關係，打開校園邊界，活絡原本的邊緣地帶，結合共享空間提供宿舍區更完善的服務設施。
我們透過幾項策略來回應:
1.打開東海封閉的紅磚圍牆，破除校園與都市之間隔閡，運用架高綠廊縫合高低落差，銜接都市與校園空間，形塑新校園入口。
面對台灣大道退縮出線型廣場，作為都市及校園的緩衝地帶，提供人行駐留停等的空間，周邊配置商店以活絡人行道及廣場。善用地形高程落差來整理不同層級的活動，並創造連續多層次的開放空間。將機車停車場轉化為架高綠廊，以景觀階梯及斜坡整合各層，能有效銜接都市與校園，形塑新校園入口意象。我們也積極改善人行道空間，增設街道家具及綠化空間，提供行人舒適的步行空間。
2.重新定義新的校園邊界，鼓勵校園和都市活動的彼此滲透，卻仍保有清楚的校園內外空間界定。我們以簍空帷幕牆圍塑新的都市界面，對外提供人性的都市尺度空間，對內界定出清楚的校園空間並保障住宿單元的隱私性。
3.延展的合院，垂直的院落。
我們將建築量體高層化，減少建築面積，最大化保留原有植栽與綠地，與男生宿舍的院落群呼應。運用東海特有的建築元素，延續校園紋理的整體性，並以虛空間彼此串聯，再詮釋「延展的合院」。也希望在垂直空間中再現院落的生活經驗，從房間單元、共享空間、走廊、院落、社群，多層次的空間彼此銜接。以廊道、階梯廣場與舊宿舍區銜接，創造更寬廣之戶外公共空間。
4.以群組式的空間架構創造出「家」的氛圍，落實「住宿學習」精神。
每一間寢室有獨立浴廁及茶水空間，每14個宿舍單元為一個簇群，共享一座兩層挑空的廚房及交誼廳。每一個簇群又可透過戶外樓梯串聯，地面樓層提供研討室、洗衣房、健身房，如此以多個簇群來組合成垂直的宿舍院落。多層次的公共交誼空間能讓學生自由應用調整，讓學生從生活中與群組內同學產生連結互動，落實博雅生活教育。
The project site is located on the northwest edge of the male dormitory area at Tunghai University, characterized by an irregular shape. The northwest side faces the pedestrian sidewalk of Taiwan Boulevard, with a continuous wall and a motorcycle parking lot separating the campus from the outside. There is a height difference of about 3 meters between the campus and the outside. The southeast sides are adjacent to the courtyards of the male dormitories.
The male dormitories, designed during the early founding period of Tunghai University, followed the concept of extended courtyard-style design, where the void space is the main feature. The goal was to allow faculty and students to explore the relationship between people and nature within these spaces. We hope the new dormitories can embody the spirit of "liberal arts," moving away from the enclosed dormitory concept and incorporating more of a "home" feeling. At the same time, we aim to leverage the relationship with Taiwan Boulevard and the entrance/exit of the motorcycle parking lot, opening up the campus boundaries, revitalizing the originally peripheral area, and providing more comprehensive service facilities to the dormitory area through shared spaces.
We respond through several strategies:
1. Opening up Tunghai University's closed red brick walls, breaking down the barriers between the campus and the city. We plan to use elevated green corridors to bridge the height difference between the city and the campus, connecting the two spaces and shaping a campus entrance.
The setback area facing Taiwan Boulevard will form a linear plaza, serving as a buffer zone between the city and the campus, offering pedestrian spaces for resting and gathering. Surrounding shops will enliven the sidewalks and plaza. We will take advantage of the topographical height difference to organize activities at different levels and create multi-layered continuous open spaces. The motorcycle parking lot will be transformed into an elevated green corridor, with landscaped stairs and ramps integrating the different layers, effectively connecting the city and campus, and shaping a new entrance image for the campus. We will also improve the pedestrian sidewalk, adding street furniture and green spaces to provide a comfortable walking environment.
2. Redefining the new campus boundary, encouraging mutual interaction between campus and city activities while maintaining a clear spatial distinction between the two.
We will use a perforated curtain wall to form a new urban interface, providing a human-scaled urban space on the outside, while clearly defining the campus space on the inside and ensuring the privacy of the dormitory units.
3. Vertical extended courtyard.
We increased the height of the building mass, reducing the building footprint to maximize the preservation of existing greenery and trees, resonating with the courtyards of the male dormitory area. Using unique architectural elements of Tunghai University, we will continue the integrity of the campus fabric, connecting spaces with voids to reinterpret the concept of "extended courtyard." We also hope to recreate courtyard life experiences in vertical spaces, connecting room units, shared spaces, corridors, courtyards, and communities in a multi-layered manner. Through corridors and stair plazas, we will connect the new dormitory area with the old one, creating a broader outdoor public space.
4. Creating a sense of "home" through a group-based spatial structure, fulfilling the spirit of "residential learning."
Each dormitory room will have an independent bathroom and pantry, with every 14 dormitory units forming a cluster that shares a double-height kitchen and common room. Each cluster can be further connected through outdoor staircases, with the ground floor providing meeting rooms, laundry rooms, and fitness facilities. This way, multiple clusters will combine to form a vertical dormitory courtyard. The multi-layered public common spaces will allow students to freely use and adapt the spaces, fostering connections and interactions among students within each group, embodying the liberal arts education in everyday life.
