The site confines itself to 2.5 m depth and 6.5 m width. Although its scale is quite humble, it has increased capacity to fully utilize lighting and ventilation as it stretches alongside the narrow alley.

The inhabitants consist of 3 members of a young family. Its small size makes sense and is accommodating to them with all their needs for a comfortable life in this cosy space.

The ground floor incorporates the family room, dinner room and the kitchen. In order to make these functions operate flexibly and maximize space utilizing, the floor is raised to leave space under for storage and also serve as dinner bench for vertical lift table.

Upper floor and a mezzanine contain 2 bedrooms for the parents and child. The interior design concept aims to open-plan bedrooms in terms of good lighting and ventilation, along with broadening the space.

Private space is enclosed by flexible sliding bamboo doors. In the bedroom, again, raised floor is used to leave space under for storage and entire vacant area above. All these are key factors that make the cosy space seems to be broader and lighter.

The client and architect coincidentally share the same interest in natural lighting and plants. This explains for half of the balcony is plant box, add little precious green colour to the view from master bedroom.

The rest of balcony is hidden behind a patterned concrete block wall. This rigid veil allows the light to go inside but the sight from nearby neighbour.
