The protruding white “boxes” that are designated to the master bedrooms, and shared double-height spaces accentuate the stacking of bold volumes of the design, as well as creating a unique geometrical character when viewed from multiple perspectives. The walls are designed in slight angles in adjacent to large openings and partial louvers, allowing comfortably diffused natural daylight to penetrate throughout the internal spaces.
