The building has a distorted U-shape to allow wind and light pass through the gaps between the tightly packed surrounding buildings. The design emphasizes creating a sense of living together, where residents can feel each other’s presence. Three strategies were implemented to make the courtyard into a space where people prefer to stay, even in low light conditions: reducing the number of corridors facing the courtyard, creating horizontal voids, and giving special texture to the courtyard wall.
