 Floor Plan

地块面积凹凸不平，地形起伏，以坡道和桥梁作为连接不同体积的单元，根据地形的不同高度，强调自然环境的景观，对地形和家庭要求作出反应。

The lot area is uneven and bumpy, so the form responds to the topography and to the family requirements by using ramps and bridges as elements that connect the different volumes, placed in the central part of the lot and at different heights according to the topography, emphasizing the view of the natural environment.

灯光也是一个关键的主角。白天，每一个空间都充满了生命和温暖，产生了光和影的效果，创造了奇异的环境；到了晚上，一种特殊的照明设计给出了精心的遮阳，丰富了室内和室外的体验。

The light is also a key protagonist. During the day it floods with life and warmth every space, producing light and shadow effects, creating singular environments; and by night, a special illumination design gives a careful shading to enrich experiences both inside and outside the house.
