Hidden in the city, the tranquil alleyway is a 100-square-meter house with an oversized terrace. Our goal is to design the terrace to bring in scenery and light in collaboration with the homeowners.
The homeowners, a newlywed couple, often invite family and friends over for gatherings. By extending the visual line in the limited indoor space, the boundary of the entire public area, including the terrace, is blurred, creating an enlarging effect.
The center of the house revolves around a musical instrument display case that carries the homeowner’s leisure interests and life memories. It also serves as a boundary between public and private areas. The U-shaped flow allows the homeowners to move smoothly inside the house, while the one-bedroom setting ensures that the master bedroom still has enough storage and good space quality.
The main bathroom is hidden behind a floating wall, providing storage function and weakening the heaviness of the cabinet through the floating design. The low-level suspension of the visual line also adds a connection between the two spaces.
By highlighting the advantages of the house, itself through design, we create a visual and livable scene.
