S-House is a townhouse consists of four units. Living room on the ground floor will become a continuous room with front yard and backyard. When its full height windows are opened, breeze passes through the room. The courtyards are playground and also vegetable garden. They will give opportunities for residents to have nature and sensory experiences throughout seasons. The plot is designated to low-rise residential area that allows 50% building coverage. The context of suburb made it possible to design such a house that embraces the nature of earth as symbolic courtyards. Second floor is meant to be a bedroom resembles like a white cave; natural light descends from top light and a quiet time passes in the room. Rooftop terrace is open to sky where residents can enjoy an outdoor bath or lay on a hammock with looking at scenery of sky.
