Text description provided by architect.
Situated in a green, multifunctional precinct with villas, recreation grounds, tennis courts, cafeteria, swimming pools, and gardens, roof folding house is a smart design based on two parts: the permanently constructed one as the main building and the pre-engineered part as the veranda.
The folding tile roof connects these two parts together, reducing the constructing height, shielding sunlight from the East, and orienting all living space towards the garden and swimming pool.
The entire exterior is covered with laterite, combined with the tiled roof to make the place more aesthetic and stable.
This design is simultaneously ideal for private weekend relaxes and for shared convenience to the surrounding residents.
