｜CONCEPT

A dental clinic combined residence with 1 basement floor and 3 floors above ground. Vertical and horizontal louvers were installed in front of the building to make the building a landmark while hiding the feeling of life in the house.
The site is long and has multiple small courtyards inside for good lighting and ventilation. A large garden is set up at the far end of the premises, and you can look at the garden while receiving treatment. You can feel the change of seasons and time from the shadows cast by the residential grating terraces.
