Built on sloped land with a clear view of the west side, the architectural space was arranged with a wide wall in a long, narrow entrance, a living room with high ceilings filled with natural light, a dining space that connects to the garden, a terrace surrounded by raised concrete walls, and a spacious terrace overlooking the city.

The entrance, living, dining, terrace and garden spaces were each constructed to appear as gallery spaces. Overall, we considered an architecture that pleasantly incorporates art into everyday life.
