This is a warm three-generation home. From the original four-bedroom layout, we adjusted to three bedrooms, releasing a generous public area where the family gathers and shares the play of light, shadow, and view. The design responds to a particular routine — since members eat at staggered times, an island bar replaces the traditional dining table, becoming the place where the family drinks tea and meets.

The open-plan long study desk gives the children a shared learning environment, while serving other family activities. The public zone is placed at the centre, multiplying interactions between rooms while keeping a clear separation between the active public area and the quieter private rooms. Three generations share open time together, each retaining independence.

Light and dark grey runs from floor through wall to ceiling — the island reads as an extension of the wall surface. Walls and counter are clad in Beiton stone, the background material of the public space. Curved walls in selected areas allow daylight to enter to its fullest; with minimal decoration and selective black steel detailing, attention falls on pure volume and pure light.
