They donnot define a path, they simply borrow a path to move and a place to stay.
They share one same destination yet have different paths.

Yard Type
story of the process- video
It stars with a big bell hung on a big azalea tree...
Yards grew around the first house in layers.
A second house was generated.
We happen to see children climbbing the rock and decide to make the wall under constructing a slope.
We saw children playing stones and decide to stop constructing the unfinished wall leaving some stones.
A new yards generated new possibilities.
In constructing the third house, a tree helped us!
Then a yard of azalea trees was generated.
The forth house was generated.
We create a back yard for it which leads to the nearby azalea foretsts.
In this yard we planted a different azalea tree species.
We welcomed the stream to enter our yards.

The house’s growth story
A place lies among mountains and lakes.
A house is born by will of interacting with nature.
She wants to meet nature in peace and escape from daily trifles. Then a corridor appears.
She wants to keep some nature in arms, then a patio appears.
She wants to embrace nature in everyday life, so a branch patio and corridor grow from the trunk.
When the last patio is born, she hears nature flowing inside her, echoing.
