The proposal is for a 2-storey building with basement. The area can be divide as three main zoning area: Social (public); Private and Working. In between these zoning, there are natural area and entertainment area to increase the quality of living. As there are for family of 7 with kids, the hierarchy of the zoning and room will be obvious. For example, the master bedroom is with bigger layout; the private zone is separated with the social zone. Also the main porch will be located near the driveway from one main road. Through the foyer will provide a connection to the different places – the Living room; Dining room and the garden inside. There is a light well with in the middle of the house that connect with different zoning and provide the sensory and light stimulation. This provides for the accommodation needed and an attractive living space.

The most beautiful thing in the world is the natural that is the most powerful and it is not replaceable. Therefore the connection of the green belt and the natural feature is the main strategy of the design. First from the view of user, there are curtain wall design with high celling that the capture of views can be increase. Second, from the view of neighbor, the form of the building is mainly follow the landscape that means the view will not be blocked and it is harmonious with the surrounding area. It is to achieve a symbiotic relationship between human and natural.

The building is link with the landscape and green roof. The continuous piece of roof create an illusion and extend of landscape. The void on the roof is to connect the natural to the user. Also to welcome the sunshine; rainfall and airflow to the house. To connect the natural, from exterior to interior.
