Pet and Student Accommodation
Brief
The site I choose is located on the ground floor, first floor and second floor of 40G.
In this space, I will continue the theme of the Connecting Interior course and continue to design a pet-friendly space. Pets are part of people's companionship and emotional comfort, and getting along with pets can also greatly relieve people's stress. Therefore, in this space, pets and people can enjoy a considerable degree of tolerance and full interaction.
This space is a space that explores the connection and fusion of human and non-human Spaces. The planning of this space is based on humans and animals. The nature of animals belongs to the outdoor nature space. If it is not for people to take animals as pets, they should live in nature more. So I think for animals, the experience of living outdoors is hard to replicate indoors. Compared with the original life, the biggest change of people and animals living indoors as pets is mutual companionship. So the whole space is designed to create a companion space as the starting point. For students who are too busy to accompany, their pets can be fostered. Other students have the opportunity to get along with pets to relieve pressure. Companionship does not disappear but is diverted in this space.
- Students can bring pets into this space for short play or long-term residence.
- Students who love animals can also enter the space to experience interaction with pets.
- Students can come to study or read, and have the opportunity to experience pets actively.
- Students make an appointment with a trained pet for one-on-one stress relief.
- Pets can play
- Pets can get pet food.
Storyline
Design Process
The design area is located on the ground floor to the second floor of 40GS.
Retaining and reinforcing the original building structure became an effective design approach. When the floor slabs and walls of the design area were removed, the remaining beams and columns in the space divided the main space into three longitudinal sections. However, due to the narrowness of the interior of the space, it was difficult to achieve the desired design in terms of spatial form and order. The two beams and two columns on the same facade were then set up as a group, and three additional groups were added to divide the original three sections into six equal parts, resulting in 63 small spaces.
The interior echoes the exterior. The original building was a brutalist building with a large number of repetitive modular elements on the surface of the building. These modular elements are primarily square in plan. At the same time, the interior space with its encrypted beams and columns is divided into 54 small cubes. These cubes correspond to the elements of the exterior facade but are transformed from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. This makes the whole building unified inside and out but not identical so that the building becomes even more interesting.
design process 1
Block generation on the first and second floors
The design is on the ground floor and first floors, which are defined as cat and human spaces.
The space is divided into 4 different functional spaces: they are the aisle space, the private space, the staircase space and the open space.

Block generation on the ground floors
This design is on the ground floor, which is defined as a space for dogs and people. The overall design style is a continuation of the first and second floor spaces, with the square element being the representative element.
The space is also divided into four different functional spaces: private space, open space, waiting area and kitchen.
