This project draws out the potential of the construction site, proposing a house with a three-dimensional structure above and below ground on a land with a difference in elevation, creating a continuous space from underground to above ground. The floating exterior design blends into the surrounding landscape, and the windows on the south side let in views and natural light, creating an open and comfortable space. Taking into consideration the effectiveness of the site, the space was designed to achieve both an open feeling and comfort.
