This middle terrace house is divided into two blocks by a light well with a reflecting pool. A glass and wood
trellis covers the top of the light well, giving shade and allowing air to circulate throughout the entire house.
Underneath the stairway, which runs along the side, is a softly
a water feature with cascading water that feeds into the pool.from the rain while maintaining light
The stairway and living room are separated by a screen or display shelf on the first floor. The front block houses the living, dining, and dry kitchen in one open area, while the back block houses the wet kitchen and service areas. The water feature connects the first and second blocks by a wooden bridge.
Additionally, glass and wood are used to cover the top of the stairwell. The steel wires that support the timber
trellis give it a subtle camber. On the attic level, where the master bedroom is located, stairs lead to the roof
terrace. A similar timber trellis element, but with smaller and rounder timber pieces to meet the modest size of
the space, is present over the bath and shower area in the master bathroom. The second floor and attic level
connecting bridges are all offset from the first level bridge, creating the impression of more room in the light
well.
