The design concept:

The composition of units in the vertical Axe achieves the idea of overlooking, so that every unit has a private garden (roof gardens).

Design elements:

  • The ground garden and the house are oriented towards the desired northern wind.
  • Privacy was achieved by separating entrances.
  • Connecting between house and outdoor garden was achieved by the use of steps.
  • Maximum shading was reached by the mass overlapping.
  • Separation between guest zone and other zones was achieved by the use of bent entrance.
