This  steel  structure  is  used  for  spraying  concrete  on  it  through  a  pressure  hose,  which  is  called  gunite.  It  is  the  same  method  as  building  swimming  pools.  

This  glass  box  is  designed  as  a  memory  boxes  for  the  elderly  that  cannon  remember  things  well.  The  memory  box  is  attached  to  the  wood  board  and  then  fixed  on  the  wall  

This  ‘white  board’  is  used  for  protecting  the  wall  while  constructing  

The  structure  of  the  bed  is  designed  for  better  movement  of  the  person  on  the  bed.  This  grey  plastic  is  not  only  for  making  the  mattress  fixed  so  that  it  does  not  move  left  and  right  when  the  person  on  the  bed  is  moving.  It  also  designed  to  be  more  comfortable  as  the  plastic  is  flexible  that  the  person  sleeps  on  the  bed  feel  softer.

The  purpose  of  this  track  is  for  helping  the  people  that  have  difficulties  to  move  from  the  bed  to  the  bathroom  

Concrete  is  mix  of  several  materials.  Materials  used  cause  the  color  variation  of  the  concrete.  The  photo  below  shows  the  color  variation  of  the  in  situ  concrete.

This  is  the  structural  frame  of  the  kitchen.  The  pipe  on  the  floor  is  the  pipe  for  gas  

These  3  photos  show  the  structure  of  the  windows.  The  window  is  supported  by  several  little  pieces  of  materials  before  the  construction  of  the  plaster  surfaces  of  the  wall  has  been  completed.

The  metal  in  the  wall  is  used  for  shaping  a  perfect  ridge  for  the  wall  and  also  used  for  protecting  the  wall  so  that  its  ridge  would  not  be  easily  damaged.  When  the  builders  paint  the  wall,  people  cannot  see  this  metal  as  the  painting  covers  them.  The  holes  are  deigned  so  that  the  surface  of  the  ridge  will  not  be  separated  from  the  main  structural  of  the  wall,  so  it  will  not  fall  off  after  the  painting  is  dried.
