the sheltered public theater-like forum with steps serves as a public living room for the community. the interior units are 
divided with wide walls which contain the infrastructure, appliances and services to maximize free space within the rooms.

the firm's construction principle of 'thinner & thinner' led to a configuration which expands the interior despite limited floor area. 
derived from picasso's cubism paintings, the shifted facade offers views of the landscape in all directions.
