The design follows the "Time Container" concept, seamlessly integrating new chapters and the poetic essence of life into an old residence through a thoughtful interplay of materials, colors, and light. Major changes were made to redefine the four main spaces using a "spatial montage" approach to reconstruct the flow of movement within the home. Furniture has been placed strategically to separate the kitchen from the foyer, while providing ample storage on both sides.

In the living room, a circular layout facilitates easy movement and is enhanced by a bar counter that connects the kitchen and living space. This design optimizes functionality and elevates the overall living experience. The entrance bathroom features a three-part separation design, clearly defining its functions and significantly improving convenience for multiple users at the same time.

To address the limitations of the building, the design team utilized various strategies to enhance the space. A standout feature in the children's room is the installation of a climbing wall, which creates a unique and imaginative environment for the soon-to-be-born child.

In the master bedroom area, the study and bedroom have been combined to create a private sanctuary for the homeowner. Additionally, an Eastern tea room-inspired space has been designed on the master bedroom balcony, providing a tranquil setting for enjoying tea, engaging in conversation, incensing, and reading—adding a subtle touch of romance. A distinctive L-shaped Oriental painting on the wooden headboard enhances the quiet and comfortable bedroom with a unique rhythm.
