Instead of the enclosed spaces of traditional houses, this project attempts to blurring indoor and outdoor spaces, bringing the natural environment inside.Driving residents out into the larger shared space and nature, allowing for more interaction.

Through the open courtyard to break the boundary between outdoor and indoor, let users feel the natural environment and bring more green space to the city.
The traditional brick residential façade retains the original structure. Black stone tiles are applied to the exterior as a finish. The lawn in the front yard extends into the interior up to the floor-to-ceiling glass in the living room.

An open-to-nature transportation system links all the indoor spaces. If users want to walk from one room to another, they must walk outside, which gives the residents the opportunity to walk into nature breathe fresh air and feel the sun and rain.
