Cluster (looks like Boomerang shape)  as units of life activity and structure. Office space and residence space are mixed in this building. It means to be mixed  public space and private space. Three clusters (two of them are share house, and one of them is office) are located while making the gap space that becomes a public space. It will be lively place for everyone. And also,there are small crevice (but high-ceiling) in the each cluster. Here will be a place of small exchanges and life for  people who live in the cluster. In this way,we designed various space by building units called  cluster so that they are multiplied naturally.
