greeted by a large Profilit glass wall. An indoor courtyard was built in such a
way as to be enclosed by the glass wall, offering the viewer an unexpected
surprise from its exterior conditions.The branches of the trees in the courtyard extend

serves as both the master bedroom and a living, dining and kitchen with the
