Text description provided by the architects. In a community where nature endures and history unfolds with grace, there stood a house, 75 years in the making. This was an architect's personal project, breathing new life into an ancient dwelling. The neighborhood, a tapestry of a few homes, has remained unchanged since its urban planning a century ago. Three generations have called this place home, their bonds forged in shared classrooms from kindergarten through middle school. The allure of this land is evident in the care its inhabitants bestow upon their daily lives. Yet, as generations shift, migration to urban centers has begun, and the legal constraints of this district have hindered architectural evolution, leading to a peculiar "urban depopulation."
