The MONOHAUS has a zen-like quality, giving its residents a calm and serene place to withdraw from the hustle-bustle of daily urban life. The facade shows that the angles shift slightly as the building ascends, creating a play of subtle shadows.

Not only are the massive walls heat-insulating, but the material's breathability provides a healthy balanced room condition through every season.
