Travelling down the concrete stairs, you reach the main living area of the house, which has a split level, separating the kitchen and dining area from a second living room.

The dining area is positioned to take full advantage of the void in the ceiling and the skylight above, with the artistic light installation drawing your eye upwards to the open space.

Stepping down to the second living area of the home, you can see how the large windows flood the entire space with plenty of natural light, which helps to brighten the unfinished concrete walls, while a large rug makes the room feel warmer and assists in anchoring the furniture in the large room.
