Information

Diminished House

This is a renovation project in which the previous house was diminished from 1200 sqm into 550 sqm, allowing each room to have an outdoor space. The process of the renovation was mainly focused on preserving the primary structure and also the big trees which grew in front and the back of the house.

Through an open space corridor which is stretched from the entrance to the pool area, we try to create a sequence of experience, giving the transition of the previous and new building. The family room, the heart of the house, is designed openly and transparently with the view of a beautifully designed landscape including the large existing trees and vertical garden as the background.
