This is a house for 10 people, including my brother and his family, and my mother, who is expected to live with us in the future. The first basement floor, sunk 675mm from the GL, is made of reinforced concrete, and the first and second floors are made of steel. The building has a figure-loop plan with a void in the center, and a large asphalt-shingle roof over the first floor, which has openings on all four sides.
