Just in
front of the entrance is a large main hall featuring a 6 meter-high ceiling,
with bookshelves built into one of the wall. This large central space serves as
a shared common space. It contains stairwell leading to and connected with the
other rooms. This relatively large void space gives the residence a feeling of spatial
continuity as well as openness from slightly small individual rooms in the
house.
There is
a loft space that can serve as a future children’s room just above the entrance.
It is currently being used by the husband as a reading area to indulge his love
of books.
An
underground mezzanine space leading down from the main hall serves as a bedroom
with ample natural light and ventilation. Leading up from the main hall serves
as a compact kitchen and dining area equipped with a food preparation area,
storage units for tableware and crockery, dishwasher, rice cooker, microwave
oven and garbage bins.
Just above
this kitchen-dining area, with its low ceiling due to legal height
restrictions, houses a wash basin and bathroom with skylight overhead. From balcony
the view of the starry sky at night provides the couple with welcome relief
from a hard work of the day time.
