Architecture Class: Bridge-House

Today in class Rafael gave us the scenario of constructing a house that serves two purposes: to be a place to live in and be a bridge as well. When I first created this house I was unsure of how to put two and two together, but after contemplating for a while I came up with my finalized idea of having a house atop a bridge that hung over a lake underneath it. I felt that I achieved the idea and solution that Rafael was looking for, but instead told me of how I didn't unite the two. I did the exact opposite. He said they needed to be in unison and that the bridge and house should work together as one. I now understand that the idea is a bridge inside of a house, such as the below picture. The two need to work together and be able to coincide as well.
