Current housing development is creating uniform lifestyles and monotonous urban landscapes.
This house proposes a new relationship between openness and privacy through an intermediate outdoor space called a "skip terrace."
Slightly elevated from the interior floor level, the terrace blocks direct views from the street while framing the surrounding scenery and incorporating nature into daily life.
This project serves as a prototype for a new type of suburban housing in Asia.
