The shops are gain openness by the grids with glasses, and the parts of the housing units are enveloped by the curved wall of exposed concrete.

In the housing units in the first floor, there are private gardens folded by the curved wall.

From the hangover terrace in the upper floors, one would see the trees in the court and the city.
