SPACE

l  The L-shape house sits on a flat top of the hill surrounded by the wild forest, in this way we could see architect’s faith in nature & humanity -> L shape create a relatively independent face and define a clear boundary between the house & forest
l  Courtyard – central space
Ø  Gathering space (interior/ exterior ; private/ public)

CIRCULATION
