To reduce visual impact from the main house, the building height is lowered toward the main house. Consequently, the building width is narrowed at the front to allow for a small car to park. These 2 simple moves results in a high/narrow space on one side and low/wide space on the other. Utilizing the high space, a sleeping loft and balcony are added, partially hanging above the parking space. A very long skylight (30’) runs along the building, providing multiple quality and form of natural light throughout the day. Mini study area with floating book shelf is a bonus.
