The concept is to connect Vitrahaus house theme with 2 levels of 12 structures, 5 houses at the bottom, and there are 7 houses on the other rested. Structure of the house has a 15 meters high. When during the day, the house will display the contents of the room in it, and when it got dark, the interior is lit Vitrahaus, the room will open, and the physical structure of the house was gone. The maximum dimensions Vitrahaus house has about 57 meters long, 21.3 meters wide, and the design is not made in the horizontal, but vertical, which can provide a view of interest around the house.
