I want the living space to reflect comfort and freshness with beautiful landscape. The design was greatly influenced by different regions and cultures. While the structural transparency of the volumes and the minimalist aspect of the interior was derived from Japaneses design. The concept for the units is stitch, people come cross with each other, yet each individual still maintain their own identity.
