This house has a cylindrical RC structure in the center of a rectangular plane, which is strong enough to resist soil pressure. The structure has a funnel-shaped slope and a cross-sectional shape that makes the flat area larger as it goes up. The soil garden, which is filled with soil and continuous with the ground, is built up to a height of 4.3m above the ground level.
