Recently a post titled “Student from Shenzhen University Ultimate DIY Dormitory Modification” was spreading like wild fire on Chinese forums, and it gained a lot of hits and discussion.  A guy modified his 2 m x 0.9 m dormitory bed into a creative private space with three boards and a curtain.

The dormitory bed consisted of lights, computer, and air circulation facilities.  The monitor could be easily adjusted and position.  There was also a writing desk which can be put away at anytime.  The keyboard, mouse and headphone were hanged on the wall.  By spinning a knob, all these things can be used.  The small space also has three board to put daily supplies.  The most notable thing was the calligraphy hanged on the bedside, which wrote “Study House” on it.

The owner of this DIY dormitory bed was Shenzhen University’s Wang Xu.  Wang Xu was 20-year-old young man from Shenzhen.  Currently he was sophomore student of Shenzhen University’s Faculty of Law.  Wang Xu said that he had never stay with other people before.  When he just moved into the dorm, he already had the thought of having a private space.  However he had removed the electronics under the pressure of the school as the school did not want other students to imitate.

Wang Xu came up with the ideas bit by bit, and he bought all the materials before the summer vacation.  During the October holiday, he assembled all the materials at home and then moved back to the dorm.  The cost for the whole modification only spent him 2000 RMB.  After living at the newly designed space for 20 days, he showed the photo of his DIY dorm on the school forum.  This attracted 100 more people visited his room.  He became a popular guy in the university.  He was even invited to talk about the design on the school radio, and also invited by the school of architecture to discuss about the design with the graduates.
