With the increase in the density of the buildings, the traditional method causes buildings too close to each other and the rooms facing to the north can hardly get sunshine. BUMPS in Beijing’ is rotated by 45 degrees from the north-south axis. The residence buildings are 80 meters height. Every two floors are set as a unit. Every unit is staggered by 2 meters horizontally. Whole 80m’s building is repetitions of these units. setback areas are used for terraces. All the windows are 1 meter square.
