To maximize spaciousness, open layout was used with function zoning; via material, design & color demarcations, strong dynamic transition line over multiple planes stops areas being reduced to single rooms whilst its subtle non-linearity flows different areas together & maintains visual & physical openness. A Yin-Yang balancing of tone helps create two individual standalone flavors that compliment one another whilst maintaining overall balance. Separation of areas continues throughout, most evident in double study where the timber structure allows two isolated workspaces without forcing solitude & providing additional hidden escape room.
