The architecture of this house firmly rooting itself to the landscape, while creating privacy by shaping the terrain. The architects establishing the first level slightly below grade and sculpting the surrounding terrain into a gentle rise. The architects modified the almost flat land in order to give the livable cube a more elegant shape design. The house is build with two levels. The upper is for public face that perfectly controlled,while the lower levels is a private sphere that usable for free-wheeling and spontaneous. The whole construction process of the houses architecture make a good place for an intimate retreat for big families or relatives.
