Student Counselling Centre Renovation Proposal
東南科大輔導諮商空間改造提案

In collaboration with YYaARCHITECTS倆三聯合建築師事務所
Location: New Taipei City, Taiwan
A Softened Corner
山隅 - 山腳下的心靈安放所


Spatial requirements are organised into five levels of privacy, accommodating a range of scenarios including walk-in visits, scheduled appointments, use of the emotional support corners, and group counselling sessions. 使用行為與空間需求被區分為以下五個隱私層級，也滿足walk-in、預約、使用情緒支持角落、使用團諮室的各種情境動線。 A continuous track system integrates multiple spatial functions, operating as curtain rails, lighting supports, and a defining entry element. It also guides sightlines and subtly delineates spatial boundaries.

一個統整空間感的軌道系統，具有作為隔簾軌道、燈具基座、走廊意象的功能。也有引導視線與區隔空間的效果。



Within the rational and repetitive framework of the existing campus building, the project introduces a triangular plan intervention to soften the spatial order of the counselling environment. The angled geometry generates a series of spatial conditions tailored to different modes of support.
Individual counselling rooms are angled to minimise shared walls, reducing acoustic interference while enhancing privacy. A 90-degree seating arrangement allows counsellor and student to sit side by side, oriented towards the exterior, avoiding direct eye contact and fostering a more relaxed dialogue. Residual corner spaces formed by the angled geometry become semi-open waiting and emotional support areas—places to retreat while maintaining visual connection.
Situated at the foot of the mountain on the Tungnan University, the project provides students with a quiet spatial refuge for reflection and emotional reset.
我們思考如何在既有校舍理性而制式的框架中，透過平面轉向與斜角配置，為輔導諮商空間創造一種被鬆動的秩序，重新調整人與空間之間的心理距離。

三角形配置所創造出的看似畸零的空間，成為各種適合輔導諮商空間的情境：
個別諮商室減少直接相鄰的牆面，降低聲音干擾，並形塑更為獨立、被保護的空間感受
創造最適合諮商情境的90度斜角坐的個諮空間，一起舒服地望向戶外，避免直視
斜角所形成的角落空間，做為半開放的情緒支持角落與等候空間，是既可躲藏又能保持視線連結的安全角落

在東南科大的山腳下，一處讓學生安放情緒、重新整理自我的角落。
