This project was planned as a detachment by developing a part of the back courtyard of the main house. Because it is a large site that doesn’t have a front and backside which is distinctive for the backcountry, we aimed to create a house that is fitting in with the environment around the site while standing gracefully.

So I pulled the house to north and I made simple long and narrow layout.
