In order to achieve balance between the two, we have the case of the appearance as canvas, through tailor-like approach to capturethe building emotion with straight, horizontal elongated rectangular or the round hole .On the contrary, use the white and more blank walls in order to leave and block the complex behavior out there.

Second, the implantation of light.

We hope to introduce the morning light from the east side over the second floor to reach the first floor dining space.
