Because the site is on a slope with a soft support base, the first floor is built on a high reinforced concrete foundation, and the second floor is made of wood to reduce the weight. The interior has five vaulted voids that bring light into the room from above. The line of sight from the interior is connected to the view of the exterior through the voids, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior and creating depth in the space.
