Located in a narrow alley, with an awkward shape and only one open side, the architect opted for a vertical lighting and ventilation solution.
Two skylights, one in the middle and one at the back of the house, were used to create three continuous areas for sunlight and airflow: the front facade, the middle skylight, and the back skylight.
The functional rooms were designed to maximize natural light from these openings.
For the irregularly shaped area, the architect designed soft curves to create a seamless feel and conceal imperfections.
The stairs and flooring sections beneath the skylights feature cut-out designs, maximizing the flow of light down into the space below.
The thin metal staircase creates a light and minimalist feel, suitable for the narrow space. The light that filters through the cut-outs also creates beautiful sunbeam effects.
The first floor is arranged with a living room, kitchen-dining area, a hall for parking, and a bathroom.
The dining table has a smooth, curved shape, as if lifted from the floor, creating a strong visual connection, adorned by a tree.
The kitchen area is cleverly tucked next to the staircase, ensuring both connectivity and a degree of separation from the main living space.
