This is a residence that does not feel small in terms a lot size. On the first floor, a path leads from the front yard to the back yard, where the rooms are arranged. The back yard is felt beyond the entrance through the front yard, giving a sense of spaciousness to the composition. The second floor has a high ceiling, large windows that let in the surrounding vegetation, and skylights that let in light without regard to the surroundings, creating a square-like place to live. The furniture is dispersed and arranged to create an optimal living environment for the residents.
