At Zhejiang University an existing dormitory building was renovated for the Chu Kochen Honors College. The aim of the college was to realise a model project which can be a prototype for upcoming dormitory projects. The building which houses approximately 1,600 students was originally designed exclusively for bedrooms. Within this project several of these rooms were transformed by the architects to create a wide range of additional spaces like lobbies, offices, study rooms and common rooms.

2408 is an international design studio for progressive architecture, urbanism and design. It was established in 2018 by Bennet Marburger and Dr. Ji Zhang in Hangzhou, China. Our designs are characterized by a holistic and deeply humanistic approach. To each project we bring a wide knowledge of sustainable and ecological building technologies. During the design process we carefully consider all possible facets of a project using plans, renderings, 3d simulations and physical models. Throughout all design stages we work cross-disciplinary with a range of external experts. Thus we offer a fully integrated planning for design tasks of all scales from urban planning to architecture and interior design.
