Behind is the space planned to be developed as a gallery for family memorabilia, and a space for drying.

The roof space in the middle of the house is made of concrete slats combined with a glass roof to help bring in natural light, and with the spirit of a Catholic family When God created this world, created light.

Therefore, natural light is very important, the cutting of many doorways in different positions combined with the glass roof in the middle of the house creates many alternating light rays on the wall to make the space interesting.
