The leftover soil by excavating the ground was used to making the hill, that thing is enabled the function of the garden on the exterior and guard their privacy from, house’s neighborhood.The upper floors than a half underground are composed by only the pyrami-shaped roof, the lighting was taked in the skylight. The bright openhearted space of a undergound and first floor of feeling the calm, and the second floor with which light is filled while closing.
