This awesome house sits in a mixed-use area without a clear character that makes it has no identity. Through this project, the architect tries to define the house space through the use of a volume of simple lines. Clearly zoned spaces are also used to divide each space based on its function for daily living.

The architect also chooses the material carefully to compose a palette of colors and textures where enclosure walls, anti-seismic structure, and also apertures can reach their own level to express different characters. The result is a comfortable house where colors and textures are combined to beautify both inside and outside parts of the house.
