When I started to think about a living space, I decided
to base it on my everyday lifestyle and relaxation.
I wanted to create an easy movement inside space and to connect the bath area with all elements of my life.
When I come home I want to eat, change clothes, do homework, take a bath and sleep, in this order. This is my ideal thought.
My apartment does not have any partitions but private space and space for guests. Also I focused on the flow of human movement inside my house which drifts to the center.

 

My most relaxing point uses water which is part of my main concept. My way to relaxation is freedom in the house and that is why there
are no partitions.
There is an opening above the bath area so I can see the moon and the outside when I take a bath.
One of my strong points is in the walls,they are made of 40cm of glass from floor level and the rest is made of stone. There are two walls for trapping rain water in between. I can pay attention to the outside ground and when I walk inside I can imagine walking outside. I want to create a connection between both.
