Based on this code and client’s requirements, the bathtub was located in front of the South window at the master bedroom to accomplish a bright restroom filled with natural sunlight.
It was a consideration based on the client’s code reacting to the Client’s physical condition of tall height. A terrace was designed next to the second floor study room for connection with the exterior and a larger yard compared to the ground floor garden was designed at the rooftop for the family to privately enjoy and experience the four seasons. The China’s gray brick was used at the exterior of the building to emphasize the modern but yet antique atmosphere.
