Layering of Functions

 

Different functions of rooms are not marked off with concrete walls but presented in subtle layers. The first layer is an open kitchen; the second layer is a living and eating area; the third layer is a study cube; and fourth layer is an en suite. Light and Off-White Timber is the main constructing material of the suite.

 

Literal Transparency

 

The Layering of Spaces are conceived as four transparent cubes linking together. Wardrobes and other displays are also made transparent to echo with the theme.

 

Iconic Visuals

 

Visuals of buildings in Manhattan such as the Empire State Building are employed to add richness to the space.
