It has a tropical-like climate, its history and culture were influenced a lot by South Asia and another countries. It has an original history and culture.

场地位于从北山延伸出来的斜坡上，周围是郁郁葱葱的大自然。南面比周边地区高一点，可以俯瞰田野和延伸出去的太平洋。该建筑与原来在斜坡上的高度差不同。我们也注意到了美丽的自然环境，利用高度差来保证隐私。
The site is located on a slope that extends from the northern hill, surrounded by lush nature. The south side is a little higher than the surrounding area and overlooks the fields and the Pacific Ocean that extends beyond. The building is different from the height difference that was originally on the slope. We also payed attention the beautiful natural environment, to ensure privacy using the height difference.
我们做了两个不同高度的大屋顶，它们被放在一起连接，并覆盖在场地上。然后在适当的位置提供了玻璃门作为内部和外部的隔断。玻璃门可以根据季节的变化而开合，所以你可以享受到所有季节的以为这些玻璃门。美丽的海洋和大自然通过这块玻璃成为图片。它使各种空间和 “序列”。
We made two large roofs with different heights that were put together to connect and to cover the site. Glass doors were then provided at appropriate positions as partitions inside and outside. The glass door can open and shut according to the seasons so you can enjoy all seasons thought these glass doors. The beautiful ocean and nature become pictures through this glass. It makes various spaces and “sequence”.
我们的主要目的是创造一个开放的、被风吹动的、有深层阴影的空间。它与热带环境中的亚洲古建筑有着共同的风格。这也是现代亚洲建筑的特点之一，即与自然平等。这是取消自然和建筑之间的范畴的起跑线。
Our chief aim is to make an open, wind blown, deeply shaded space. Its has common style with old Asian building in tropical settings. This is one of modern Asian architecture’s traits, which is to be equal to nature. This is the start line to abolish the category of between nature and architecture.
我们使用石材、木材、玻璃、土壤、抛光的混凝土等等。几乎所有的材料都是由人工完成的。这些材料都是手工完成的，它有力量，因为它留下了人的触摸，使建筑更接近自然。
We used stone, wood, glass, soil, polished concrete and etc. Almost all materials are finished by human hands. These materials are hand-finished which has power as it leaves a human touch and brings architecture closer to nature.
