In this village, Tree-full Hills, each house unit has two level of boundaries: public boundary at the street level and individual boundary at the living level.
CHALLENGE: The simple volume and a gable roof came from the strict application of local urban regulations and result reflected the client request: 1. Complying with prevailing site regulations; project should have sloping roof at least 70% of the floor area. Therefore, client want to have a typical 'gable' roof shape rather than having a portion of angled roof. 2. Client desire that all rooms able to meet the maximized light exposure orient to South. 3.
