The owner in their 30s; the husband works at an advertising company and loves motor-bikes, and the wife works at a food related company purchased a plot on a small hill. This project started with their wish to live with their newborn child.
The view overlooked from the hilltop is spectacular so that the north part sets a large panorama window to fully enjoy the scenery.The first floor lays a bedroom and a water area while the second floor arranges mural book shelf on the entire wall like a library.The 3rd floor sets a kids room and a rooftop terrace to thoroughly appreciate the scenery.
The entrance hall arranges a garage to embrace and repair the masters cherished Ducati. Looking up from the below, the exterior just like a white volume floating above the hill represents symbolic and monumental impression.
