"Retreat" becomes the keyword.

I use  the bare concrete wall around to protect the living space from outside environment.

I set the Core Tower in the center of the house and I let  the living space stream and spatially continue with clinging to the Tower.

In the space isolated from the outside world, I try to  form the characteristically different space surrounding the Core Tower.

Besides it, I make it very open architectonics and the movable  partitions enable the whole house to be a one  large (connected) room.

This also makes you sense and feel the presence of two big tortoises  which are the member of the family  anywhere in the house.

Whereas the house at a glance might give a subtle closed  expression in the town, indeed creates a warm and gracious atmosphere at night  by a light leaks  out from the oval aperture of the aluminum panel.
