面对传统住宅的观念，墙壁和屋顶形成了边界，MAD的设计设想了一种“充满空气”的氛围。向下倾斜的弯曲的浮动屋顶。它的网格状结构是分层半透明，防水玻璃，在保护‘内部’不受雨，也提供自然通风，并允许阳光泛滥在里面。汉能太阳能电池板被战略性地放置在上面。每个角度是这样的，它利用最大数量的阳光，以提供整个家庭的电力。总的来说，它们产生的电能足以满足一个三口之家的日常消费。保持对天空及其周围环境的开放，“生活花园”将生命、(太阳)能量和自然融为一体，无缝地融合在一起，创造出一种建筑的‘活’景观-强调人类与自然的情感联系。

Defying notions of the traditional home, where walls and roofs form boundaries, MAD’s design envisions an “en-plein-air” atmosphere. A curved, floating roof slopes downwards. Its grid-like structure is layered with translucent, waterproof glass that while protecting the ‘interior’ from the rain, also provides natural ventilation, and allows sunlight to flood inside. Hanergy solar panels are strategically placed above. The angle of each is such that it harnesses maximum amounts of sunlight to provide power throughout the home. Collectively, they generate enough electric energy to power the daily consumption of a family of three. Maintaining an openness towards the sky and its surroundings, “Living Garden” sees life, (solar) energy, and nature coincide, seamlessly blending together to create an architectural ‘living’ landscape – one that emphasizes humanity’s emotional connection with nature.

2018年中国豪景展示会由10家国际建筑公司和10家创新公司组成，以1：1比例的展馆形式打造他们理想的“未来家园”。由日本平面设计师和策展人肯尼亚Hara发起的“房屋展望”是一个文化研究项目，旨在将“家”作为一种媒介来考虑未来生活的可能性。2018年的展览在东京已经有了版本，它是第一次在国外展出，展示了10种不同的生活环境，通过建筑、设计、技术、制造等不同学科的交叉合作来解决未来在中国的生活问题。

The 2018 China House Vision Exhibition teams 10 international architecture firms with 10 innovative companies to create their ideal ‘home of the future’ in the form of a 1:1 scale pavilion. Initiated by Japanese graphic designer and curator Kenya Hara, House Vision is a cultural research project that seeks to use the “home” as a medium to consider the possibilities of future living. Having already had editions in Tokyo, the 2018 exhibition is the first one abroad, and showcases10 diverse living environments that address future living in China, through the cross-collaboration of different disciplines: architecture, design, technology, manufacturing etc.
