The nature of living in apartments has created a considerable demand for houses to be connected with the city and to be as transparent as possible. The openings in the mass area facing the street are located via projecting old trees on the facade, creating a mysterious and introverted sense in the more private parts. Maximum transparency is applied in the spaces facing the yard thanks to the arrangement, spatial movement, and protruding boxes. In this case, a sense of suspense is experienced by the residents at the interior and exterior borders.
