We proposed a house connected to the city on a site dotted with small paths like a ravine leading to a promenade. A dirt floor that crosses the site on two east-west sides is incorporated into the interior, and a street garden connecting the two paths is provided. The wall and floor panels are made of 6mm steel plates bent into a U-shape at the factory and joined together on site with high-tension bolts. cold air is drawn in through a ground window on the north side of the first floor and discharged out through a high window in the loft to promote natural ventilation in summer.
