Thus the design building are separated into two blocks, and a central un-shaped river-like void is created to go though these two blokes, and these two volumes are dynamically slant that facing to the geographic south in the purpose of getting sufficient daylight for the final aim, which is building a sustainably workable home for those young homeless disabled for years by years.
