This project aims to establish congregate housing units that are contemporarily designed while being nested in a local setting. The primary focus is small units that offer a lifestyle that promotes harmonious coexistence among individuals, architecture, and the natural environment. The window openings have been thoughtfully configured, grille elements introduced, and the building's beam structure innovatively incorporated to achieve the objective. These design elements facilitate the entry of warm sunlight and natural greenery into the rooms, creating an inviting and calming ambiance. The placement of light and shadow variations, coupled with shading effects, has been strategically implemented to create an aesthetically pleasing space. The end result is a healthy, comfortable, and peaceful living environment that is rich in greenery, offering residents the opportunity to experience a tranquil and serene life.

To ensure that the building perfectly integrates with the natural outdoor landscape, the team behind it adopted a remarkable building setback design. The design includes a wide green belt that serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it provides a buffer space for the residents to enjoy the natural environment before they enter the indoor space. Secondly, it significantly increases the green coverage in the area, thereby improving the aesthetic appeal of the building and its surroundings.

Furthermore, the roof of the building features a stunning lawn design that replaces the heat-absorbing hard surface. This design has numerous benefits, including the provision of better insulation against heat, and conservation of water. The rainwater that falls on the lawn is recycled and reused for watering and planting, which further enhances the environmental benefits of the building. With these features, the building offers a unique experience where the residents can enjoy the beauty of the natural environment while being indoors. In order to allow the natural outdoor landscape to perfectly integrate with the building and the indoor space, the team specially adopted a building setback design and left a green belt, which not only provides a buffer space for the residents before entering the indoor space, but also increases the area of green coverage.
