The Farnsworth House relates to the concept of our building and we have similiarly applied similiar principles. We have a raised platform above the ground as our site is subject to flooding, as the Farnsworth House is. We have also tried to incorporate it into the site landscape. However, we do not use the materials used in the Farnsworth House as it is not appropriate for the tropical climate our site is located at.
