Long SUN Functional map is the core of this design. In order to create a better living experience, making high quality of social relationship between residents in the building is crucial, as well as to eliminate loneliness and social isolation. To achieve this, residents have to be guided to perform daily activities outside of the private area. Thus, private areas are reduced to remain in bedding area to guide residents to the communal area to meet each other. Facility locations are optimised to serve daily activities in three zones, same facilities can be found in different zones is out of reasonableness.

The community house has a capacity of 78 residents (30 single units and 12 double-bedroom suites). Because of its unique special arrangement, residents will have multiple storage locations in Zone 1, Zone 2 and Zone 3 to store different types of personal belongings. This is out of considerations such as efficient use of space, minimise potential arguments caused by personal hygiene conditions in communal bedding areas, and better circulation.

A new driveway on the NE side is necessary in order to make minimal impact to the neighbouring properties in the future.
The proposed building roof is lower than neighbouring houses to avoid the risk of blocking the sea view or natural light. Window openings and outdoor spaces for communal areas are all below the ground level in order to avoid noise and light impacts to neighbouring houses.
