Basement is for parking and technique.Ground floor is for vestibule and building service. Upper floors (2nd to 5th) are laid out rent rooms, that: Front building part is for tiny houses which restroom, kitchen and living room combining together bedroom as well as workroom are designed upper side.Behind building part is for normal rent rooms with living room and bed room connect thoroughly that can be closed and opened flexibly by a curtain while kitchen and restroom are laid out smart.

Living room and kitchen are also designed thoroughly to make space more widely, exploit best view to the front and the void. We get the optimization in using closet and shelf.
All space are connected by an elevator and a stair at center of the building, combing with the void that can get the nature sunlight and wind from above. There is an iron stair system among the void to link tiny houses and normal rent rooms be ending with a hanging tree tub at penthouse to make spot light. The front part of the construction also has a hanging balcony that covered by wood louver to carry more insulation, ventilation and green space to relax.
