While appropriating the walled garden as the city room, the project also constantly engaged with the studio theme, the intimate city. The evaluation of designing an intimate space becomes an essential struggle throughout every stage and scales of studies. For example, how the massing is related to its urban context in an intimate way, is resolved in a way that the building volumes offset from one another to form smaller courtyards. The sequences of courtyards mediate between the spatial discrepancy between nature and the urban, creating an intimate meeting point at their border.
