TSC Architects as Architects

Located along the highway in a very large amount of traffic, residential combined clinic. Eight-story building is built on the south side of the site. Thought that was a good idea to take the light from above in order to ensure privacy. The first floor clinic, two floor house has become a couple and their three children. Provided in the garden in the center of the building, is provided with a corridor of glass from floor to ceiling in the center there.


The can be considered intimate family space without having to worry about the human eye by creating a garden. Housing plan was to place the desk and corner living and dining around the garden. Have segmented the room slowly with storage of the original objects made of steel. Like the planned housing and lead even though the family anywhere around the garden. It is intended to be in concert with our next green "Floating tree canopy" by a large external eaves made with red cedar, full of light are illuminated from within, greening of the parking lot. Was actively greening parking clinic. Provides an environment like a park, giving moisture to the streets.
