From the living client family can see not only the inner garden but also the broad plum grove over the big roof.

The three spaces make relation between inside and outside of the house so intimate. It provides a good sense of openness and broadness and client family can feel size of inside the house larger than real. In addition client family can easily have much more eye contact each other and much communication and better life together under the same roof. In summer the shawl roof cuts strong sunshine and entrain cool air. In winter the shawl roof entrain sunshine and store it into the earthen floor to get direct gain.
