In the middle, there is a calm flow stream called Saipa. On the other side of the river bank, there are roses and a jasmine field named le petit campadieu.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We went into a project conceptual analysis phase with design style direction and characters set up right after we received the project. Due to the tight design schedule, the entire project took approximately 10 months. The cultural and historical values in this show villa are attributed to the combined accessories presence of afternoon tea in the first floor, blindfolded tasting of scotch in the basement bar, and steam distillation for essential oil right by the entrance.
CHALLENGE: The original building space part of the living room for the high design is too long and not beautiful, so in the design, we recommended a floors lab in the living room above the floor, semi-styling, so that the second floor of the study space is added. The living room space height increased by 45 cm . Then we made an angle to the floor slab in design so as to maintain the integrity of the window due to the increase of the floor has the same height as the window.
