每个房间都有不同的尺寸、屋顶结构、材料和元素，同时形成连续的甜甜圈形状的空间.在庭院里，屋檐聚集重叠，在屋顶边缘形成了异乎寻常的轮廓，各种类型的窗户都被精心放置，为景观和隐私提供了景观，创造了独特的立面。

Each room has different dimension, roof structure, materials and elements, while forming continuous doughnut-shaped space.  In the courtyard, numbers of eaves gather and overlap, creating extraordinary contour on the edge of the roof. Various types of windows are carefully placed to provide views to the landscape and privacy, and create unique elevation.
