Meandering through the winding alleys of weathered old houses, one recalls the heartwarming childhood memory. Suddenly, a glimpse of pristine white catches the eye, and a brilliantly bright building stands out amidst the aging dwellings. It reveals a refreshing and delicate aura, blending with the surrounding vintage ambiance, agreeably breathing new life into the old town. It marvelously paints a picturesque scene of old and new coexisting in perfect harmony.



In an effort to break free from the modern-day norm of retreating to one’s own rooms upon returning home, we meticulously reconfigured and simplified the layout of private spaces. We transformed bedrooms into a tranquil sleeping sanctuary, allowing for the expansion of communal areas. Through an open floor plan that seamlessly connects the living room and dining area, we not only blur the lines between different zones but also create a spacious and comfortable multi-functional environment. No matter where the family members are within the shared area, this design allows them to enjoy precious family bonding moments.



The entire living space is embraced by a pristine white tone, which diminishes the bulkiness of the building, creating an ethereal effect. Curved corners and wall treatments seamlessly integrate the building into its natural surroundings, enhancing the exterior’s lightness. Inside, ample storage spaces have been cleverly integrated into the structural design to meet storage needs while eliminating awkward nooks and crannies. Complemented by sleek linear features and subtle soft furnishings, this vast expanse of white becomes an infinite canvas, allowing the space to reflect its unique ambiance based on the interplay of daylight and the lifestyles of its inhabitants. It beautifully embodies the pure and natural essence of architecture.
