The four floors placed on different levels are connected to the surrounding out space through windows in order to give diverse views for the residents. The inner spaces are divided into four parts and, on the other hand, are connected in a spiral around the central pillar.

The four roofs are connected with different angles one another. Sunlight coming through the slits between the roofs highlights the division of the inner spaces.

This is a great AD posting… It appears to be an exceptionally well crafted/executed building – dynamic and bright design architecturally.

http://www.archdaily.com/65220/villa-k-cell-space-architects/ 个人最喜欢这套房子.大落地窗.周围全是树.犹如睡在树上的小屋子般的感觉.室内采光也非常的好.而且,室内的楼梯台阶设计超有爱.

完全不符合结构学的合理设计,刮个大风,下个大雨就歇菜了,还有太阳暴晒呢?除非你不考虑材料,成本,这地方还得四季如春,从来没各种恶劣天气。按风水学,假设是不可能成立的。RT @jimey http://www.archdaily.com/65220/villa-k-cell-sp
