Beside solving disadvantages from city like noise and air pollution, we choose the way to change old habits of people by adapting open living space that suitable with them.

Starting point with the observing people’s activities in the old house and existing conditions of the site ( existing tree and early morning sunshine) , we use the greenery of façade to reduce dust and pollution , it also control the intensity of light that entering the house every day.

The system of concrete frame covering the entire front façade and reaching the rooftop that allows nature play an important role in regulating the quality of life: light and ventilation bring comfort to residents and vitality for plants.
