Glimmer in the Cave

The cave concept is developed from the structure of the longhouse, and contrary to popular techniques, uses dark colors to shrink the space, bringing in natural materials in black, white, and gray. Interior and exterior are connected with linear designs to extend the limited space. Two separate metal pillars at the end of the entryway allow light to pass through the gap between them and from the top, creating anticipation toward the space behind. To resolve the common noise and privacy issues of row houses, the entryway is made dark and decorated with a fish tank and plants.
