Within a limited space, function, natural ventilation and circulation are the most concern of creating space and relationship between each section. The primary concept is to create a wider space which is able to allow natural daylight and connect with green space.

Solid white plane to cover stairs’ structure and conceal private space, while glass void covers the rest, to allow sunlight in semi-public area. It also helps increasing connection between inside and outside of the townhouse.
