A two-family house built along a small waterway. The long north-south site is divided into four parts, and the garden and the residential part are arranged alternately, so that the two houses are connected through the garden. The courtyard deck and the first floor are raised 900mm above the ground level in order to bring the waterway and the greenery along the waterway into the house while blocking the view from the front road.
