While many houses open the family room to the outside and close the private rooms, this house is intended to strengthen the connection between the family and the community by reversing the relationship using a curved wall. The kitchen is open so that it can be used as an integral part of the terrace, and the storage space along the longitudinal axis creates a sense of spaciousness in the room and also serves as a load-bearing wall in the short direction.
