聖誕老人的新家選址於格陵蘭島東北角的DanmarkFjord，這個地方擁有全北極最厚的永冰層，卻即將因全球暖化而在數十年後面臨崩解。若能在海底建立一座巨牆，阻止大部分的溫水侵入，就可有效減緩冰川融化。聖誕老人的新家就建立在這座巨牆之上，站在地球的第一防線，捍衛北極的冰川。 這座巨牆位在永久冰層與碎冰的交界處，我們設計了一道厚實的基座以承擔上方建築與阻擋溫水流入冰層底部。聖誕老人的家位處這道基座的中點以監控海水與浮冰，建築下方藉由拱形的孔洞讓碎冰流出。其中也包含著利用海水鹽差能的水力發電裝置（Osmotic power），提供整座長城穩定的能源。
The right to enjoy sunshine is a basic human right enacted by the United Nations. Since the cancellation of Street Shadow Act in 1987, the inaccessibility of light has increased the shadow area of buildings with the increase of population and the floor height, which has made the low-level residents in Hong Kong live in darkness for many years. In a such high cost land as Hong Kong, the open space and the ecological green land are compressed and reduced year by year. The narrow living space and closed visual landscape make residents lose their most basic living needs.
日照權是聯合國制定的一種基本人權，而香港自從1987年香港取消了《街影法》，伴隨人口增長、樓層高度不斷增加之下，光線無法照射使得建築陰影面積增加，讓底層居民生活於長年的黑暗中。寸土寸金的土地也讓香港的開放空間與生態綠地逐年壓縮與減少，狹窄的生活空間與封閉的視覺景觀讓居民失去最基本的生活需求。
