The Sunken House utilizes cluster organization principle for its layout, with private spaces arranged around common living areas. The residents and guests are welcomed by a sunken courtyard besides the entrance, before subsequently greeted by airy living areas accentuated by double volume design, forming a progression of sequential spatial hierarchy.

Clarity of structures are celebrated by employing a series of uniformly arranged vertical fins as featured façade. Deep recess created by the detachment of internal glazing from the building envelope created by the external fins is also a response to climate condition, as it helps to minimized heat gain. At the same time, natural lighting is not sacrificed but further enhanced with a choreography of light and shadow introduced into interior spaces.

The result is an epitome of spatial experience created by a distinctive modern outlook and heightened by ample natural light and ventilation.
