RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
The large area of windows on the south and the north introduces natural light to the space. Inclined upstand beams adopted not only provides shade from the sun but also maintain an unobstructed view. The cobblestones are paved on the upstand beams area of the roof, which blocks the heat effectively.

CHALLENGE:
The building is only two-story height, but the layers of the space are enriched through matching with the height difference of the sloped hillside. The roofs with different heights of the front and the rear buildings, the sloped lines and the slopes of the surrounding mountains merge and echo each other.
