Description:

“The owners are all Buddhists looking forward to having a place of peace, tranquility and completely free from the hustle city.This is not simply a house, it is a monastery…

A place where there os no limit in work, where you can either travel or stand in one place and other remaining angles are transparently as a continuous open space designed. Where everyone will see each other gleamingly, listen to each other, call each other, and think of other, etc.

A natural and rustic material palette of unrefined brick, bare wood, unpainted cemboard, and ferrous iron, etc. Everything is definitely in the way it is, staying with its nature.”
