Outline: A two-family house facing a park, consisting of a two-story child-family house and a one-story parent-family house. the two houses are connected only by a "passage earthen floor" outside the entrance and a garden on the south side. the garden on the south side of the house has evergreen trees placed around the perimeter to ensure privacy from neighboring houses, and inside the garden is a forest of japanese maples with a variety of flowering trees planted to create a rich sense of the seasons and to keep the house cool in the summer.
