The site is located on the top of the hill over a large lake.
The view from the site is very panoramic and dramatic.
So, the design began how to utilize the site in order to frame such a unique and special view from the house.
The living space is elevated on the 2nd floor, and a large window provides a non-disturbing view with ample of sun light.
The bedrooms are located on the third. And from the first to the third floor, a cantilever staircase connects all floors and creates an astonishing experience.
On the 2nd floor, two-floor void space bridges the 3rd floor bedrooms and living room.
This is designed to be a center of this house and space.
This symbolic void, of course, is not only in the center where all of the circulations meet, but provides a vertical openness as well as a feeling of one, a feeling of living as one family, which the client mostly intended.
