The house is designed to resemble a resort hotel with privacy despite its urban location. The building is designed to look like a stack of boxes of different sizes giving it a sense of depth. In addition a courtyard has been adopted to create a private environment where people can enjoy natural light and breezes while ensuring an open space without worrying about the line of sight from the outside. The result is a comfortable and ideal living environment that offers both privacy and a sense of openness.
