We tried to recreated not only the relationship among the two generations but also the relationship between "the house" including the site and "the surrounding area" which include passers and streets.

Both family of two generations live independent at the same time they share the two kind of the outside space. One is the street led into the house. The other is the existing garden. This two outside spaces create the migration flow line that they connect the two households. Therefore there is a flexible relationship among the two family.
