The main structure is made of fair faced concrete and slate stones, combined with linear wooden grilles that resemble a square curtain.

The plain textures of fair-faced concrete walls and wooden grilles accentuate the relationships between solid and airy, obstructing and penetrable, and fixed and flexible, thus creating the Zen artistic conception, ingeniously blocking the uncomfortable heat of sunlight, and securing the private lifestyle.
