The main part of this eco friendly construction is formed by a single-span volume that is cantilevered so it appears hovering in the air. The idea was taken according to the fact that there is an unevenness of nearly 3 meters of the ground. Below this main part building, there is a large, shaded outdoor spaces that can be used for leisure spaces. This will cover the living space, pool, and garden. The spaces are without any supported pillars and roofed by the main building above.

This house is also completed by several sustainable features. Passive design was implemented for this house, so orientation and shading play important role in order to control the temperature inside the house. To protect the main level from overheating, there are louvers attached. This part is still allowing the daylight and provide natural ventilation too. For water source, rainwater is reused by the rainwater catchment system on the roof. To heat the water, solar panels are used.
