Quality of space

This is a platform for others to watch nature

The front platform is made of glass, just like the front of the glass house, and the rear staircase is made of concrete wall.

the position of the entrance of the stairs so that the glass part was invisible when I entered, so that there is a strong contrast between the two.

There are also stairs at the front and rear entrances

The back stairs have no view, just like the back of the glass house

As soon as one gets to the platform, there will be a beautiful unexpected view.

A platform is also raised in front, represent the Five Points of Architecture-Le Corbusier’s
