The subject of the diploma thesis is the design of university student dormitories for Brno University of Technology located in the Pod Palackého vrchem area in Brno. The proposal responds to contemporary requirements for high-quality student housing with an emphasis on community life, psychological well-being, and environmental sustainability. The urban concept respects the open structure of the surrounding development, the existing topography of the site, its significant elevation changes, and the regulations defined by the Brno land-use plan. The complex is divided into a southern part containing the accommodation buildings and a northern part consisting of a student center with public functions. The accommodation capacity is distributed into three separate residential blocks rising from a shared parterre and underground garage structure.

The spatial organization intentionally departs from the stereotypical corridor-type dormitory layout and creates an environment supporting natural social interaction between students. The accommodation units are organized around centrally illuminated atriums providing daylight to the common areas. Special attention was also paid to the orientation of the rooms, with almost all units facing east, south, or west. The design offers a wide variety of accommodation typologies with a total capacity of 720 beds. Shared kitchens, study rooms, laundries, a student bistro, fitness facilities, and other community-oriented spaces are evenly distributed throughout the buildings. The concept also includes accessible green roofs and exterior spaces supporting sports, relaxation, and community activities.

Structurally, the buildings are designed as a reinforced concrete monolithic frame system with stiffening cores and flat slab floor structures. The underground structure is designed as a waterproof reinforced concrete “white tank” system.

The proposal aims to create high-quality student housing for the 21st century, where architecture naturally supports everyday student life, social interaction, movement, and relaxation. The concept offers an environment in which all essential functions are accessible within a single campus while the architectural design itself creates conditions for authentic student experiences, communities, and a fulfilling university life.
