The main feature of House 30 is a semi-private elevated platform that is composed of thirty-six 30cm stripes, sandwiching the white volume. Walls rise off of the 30cm stripes, and spaces are sandwiched in between those walls. The sandwiched semi-private elevated platform forms the main living space in House 30, which is situated on top of the garage and services level and below the sleeping quarters. Different functions are harmonically blended in this single space, creating an open plan for the main living space. A transparent indoor/ outdoor connection at both ends emphasizes this sense of harmony.
The exterior is also influenced by the 30cm stripes, where it acts as a guiding force to form wafer-like stone-cladded walls. Two accesses directly link the front and backyard on the ground level, while a third access ascends from the ground floor to the elevated platform and then continues to descend to the garden in the backyard.
