The owner asked for a sit spot close to a water feature, necessarily balancing the requirements of openness and privacy. The space is also a dynamic space with an eye sight that he is able to see most parts of the house including kitchen, dining room, entrance and hallway. The challenges and solutions need to be addressed comprehensively. The size of spaces is deter-mined by the daily routines of the homeowner.

The requests were met by designing a central distributing space, taking a light well space as a fixed point, while water features are placed around. The central open light well links the living area of the family, capturing abundant natural light and providing the stack effect to drive an air flow to internal openings. Garden plants and trees are integral parts of the experience in this project.
