Interior walkways provide an unobstructed view of the mural, which adds color to the otherwise neutral interior, while a skylight provides natural lighting to the space.

Let’s take a look around the rest of the home…

The house has been designed for a family of five and is nestled within a small and slender site measuring 19 feet by 59 feet (6m by 18m).

The deliberate placement of cut-outs throughout the home ensures cross ventilation, allowing fresh breezes to weave through the house naturally. Skylights not only invite sunlight to dance across the surfaces but also reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day.
