One of the main problems the architects faced was to create a timeline that is connected to the site. His story is that a military commander between the ages 15-16, during the years of civil war, built a fort on the site. As available, on the northeast side is the road and southeastern borders with a neighboring house. For the same power to take direct sunlight was an issue to consider.

The house was designed after a gap of three floors, designed as a light tube, the vertical axis contrasts with the strong idea of ??the original fort. These rooms on each floor are developed around this tube of light and internal openings are facing the void of visual linkage between it and the exhibition space.

The front has an autonomous system as a separate grid openings follow a continuous pattern, while their sizes and proportions are developed unevenly in relation to the views, the environment around or inside the function.

Continually placing openings at a height at eye level and detailed design holes in a mesh that seems to disappear, the light moves from the inside out smoothly into the narrow space, the oppression of it is imperceptible.

The rooms have the same specifications as other facilities so that its function is interchangeable. What is proposed is a prototype architecture that clings to the delicate differences in the environment.

In consideration of the context and environment surrounding the house, the architect takes the texture and color of the floor and moved to the house. The road is considered by the architect as a public infrastructure that makes a constant relevant to the project and through its continuity in the work generates such strong element in the fabric of the city.
