The entrance of land is a long narrow cul-de-sac with an area of 2x10 and the final part is a folding shape with an area of 4x12m.

Architects were asked to design a small house for a middle-aged couple and a daughter.

The entrance was arranged as a courtyard, connecting directly with the inside of the house.

The basement was seen as a garden inside the house, totally opening to the sky and gardens.

Trees and the lights are mixed together by the long narrow garden in the center of the land.
