The building sits in a neighborhood unobstructed by high-rise structures, where ample daylight and the warm glow of low-rise homes at night form a distinctive local landscape. Throughout the day and evening, light filters through the windows, casting layered shadows that gently outline the contours of the interior. A restrained palette of black, grey, and white defines the spatial language, with material contrasts enhancing depth, hierarchy, and perspective—allowing a single tonal direction to expand naturally from inside to out.
From the moment one steps inside, a quiet entry zone and soft lighting create an immediate sense of calm, separating the home from the noise of the outside world. The concrete wall extends outward to anchor the space, while the island and extendable dining table shape a fluid, open kitchen-dining loop, enabling comfortable shared use within a compact footprint.
Because lighting conditions vary significantly across different corners of the home, an open study is placed at the center to capture abundant and balanced natural light, while accommodating the owners’ needs for work and electronic drum practice. This location also offers parents a broader vantage point to observe their young child’s movements.

Along the corridor leading to the master bedroom, a concealed door subtly separates the private and public zones, maintaining visual continuity while preserving privacy. In the master bedroom, the ceiling lighting design and a slightly elevated floor create a soft, floating sensation around the bed, establishing a serene, restful atmosphere. Continuing this vocabulary, the walk-in closet integrates wood surfaces and mirrored doors to visually amplify the space, allowing textures and muted tones to find equilibrium between calmness and depth, giving the home a grounded and understated character.
Even within a monochrome palette, every detail contributes to a sense of tranquility and warmth. The smallest elements are carefully considered to shape the overall atmosphere—where subtle gestures, music, meals, and shared moments come together to express the warmth of home.
