Production Technology: The visibility from the main streets creates the main project axes and buildings aligned to these axes. Introverted and sustainable design has featured by centralized and buried form, low height, few openings with a small area in facades, canopy for sunlight control, and the use of rough and dark material in facades.

The conceptual paradox inspired by the local mountainous landscape appears in the building's rough forms head-out of its green context, which flourished from inside through its infiltrated open spaces.
