The house faces the park on the southwest side. The structure consists of three sets of floors and walls curved to draw in the park, and a wooden framework overlapping. The park, the garden, the entrance, and the earthen floor are continuous along the curve, and each function of the house is arranged around this atrium earthen floor. Structurally, the curving volumes overlap with the 2,700mm and 3,600mm wooden conventional construction frames to ensure rigidity.
