Circulation
There are three entrances in this house, so that the circulation is a bit complex. The main circulation is the spiral staircase. It lit from above, leads from the roof down into the servant’s room.
Enclosure
The north side of the house is enclosed by thick walls. However, the south-east side is glazed and can be opened on to terrace, sun and sea. Thus the south east side of the building can merge with the exterior area.
Program
The area which enclosed by thick lines are private area, and the rest of spaces are public area.
