Hence, the family was determining to create the house in there also glad to share all information to other who is interested. First of all, the trees are the questions which all agree to measure of tree’s size and space between them.
The minimum space found at 2.70 meters which is the maximum size can be building the house. They have learned the theory of monk cubicle which width and length 7:12, tantamount 2.40 : 2.40 meters.
They aim to build the house between those space without any effected to trees around. The pattern they chose is plus symbol that can be allocate for 5 sections which contain terrace, hallway, living part, the bedroom and lavatory.
At the beginning they build whole 4 houses which each house will be 1.20 meters away upper and connected every single house by the terrace.
