With some structural elements preserved, changes are required in order to evoke the sense of spaciousness inside the house. Building leveling and glass skylights play a crucial part in creating the whole atmosphere of the house. The voids and the absence of solid floor slabs have resulted into a more optimized lightings. The floor slabs are altered into galvanized grating plates and thus natural lighting can be further emphasized, even helpful as the time indicator so that the dwellers can enjoy the passing of days and nights.

Every drawn line is always connected just like the undisclosed connection between the house and its dwellers, always completing and protecting each other.
