The design of this project focuses on combining nature, land, fire, air, local atmosphere, local traditional, and culture in order to create a relaxing environment for family gatherings with minimalism and sustainability. Depending on the geographical situation, it is necessary to raise the land of the study site to avoid flooding, give the house more privacy, and elevate the aesthetics of the project. In addition, the site study focused on the annual climate by analyzing the sun path and wind direction, and planting more greeneries to reduce electricity consumption and create a cool, fresh environment suitable for living, meeting and resting after work.

The material selection for this project is based on technical standards combined with artistic ideas to create a vibrant and natural environment. For the main materials, we used wood to connect with nature and enhance the value of the house, and natural stone to add more aesthetics and natural atmosphere to the project.​
