The project explores intangible cultural heritage as a system of symbolic and practical representations that shape how people understand, occupy, and organize space. Beyond material form, culture expresses itself through shared beliefs, narratives, behaviors, and everyday patterns of use. These symbolic and utilitarian intentions operate together, influencing how societies act in the world and how spatial orders evolve.

Nature is drawn inward through layered, porous elements both visual and physical softening thresholds and deepening the home’s connection to its surroundings. Opening toward the eastern mountains, the house becomes a quiet convergence of past structure, new intention, and the landscape beyond.
