The structure of the house is attached to the playground in front of each floor, and the inner space is arranged into two parts, 1/3 of the rear area is a bedroom, toilet and kitchen, 2/3 of the front house is a multifunctional playground, study place, with natural light and trees, interconnected area.
The “Empty Box” contains a playing ground filled with nature such as light, trees, and wind. The method of raising and lowering the floor creates staggered floors and every corner of the house is connected with a big green tree view. Playing spaces of the children connect to the parents’ workspace and bedroom, the atmosphere is filled with sunlight and birds singing. Hollow iron floor material helps light and wind easy ventilation from the roof to the ground floor.
