This residence is built on a flag lot in the city center. Its basic structure consists of three tower-like volumes interconnected by two slits. These slits create a sense of distance within the interior spaces. At the same time, they serve to bring the urban environment closer. While they facilitate ventilation and lighting, they also serve as channels and escapes for consciousness. For example, one always passes through a slit when going to the bedroom. The residents live their lives constantly in touch with the urban breeze. Along with the city's bustle, daily events accumulate in this home.
