Elevated ground floor slightly slopes according to the topography hence the elderly mother could walk and exercise indoors on rainy or sunny days, while ensuring natural surface drainage, avoiding termite humidity.

The design adheres to local vegetation and existent terrain. It is a place where humans coexist peacefully with living creatures and plants.

Each space in the house offers an interesting and different experience.

The terrace – buffer corridor is curved by the house’s shape and connects all functional spaces, representing the image of mother’s outstretched arms holding their children.
