DESIGN CONCEPT

An influential role was played by the layout of floor tiles and the design of the reflective ceiling in the interior.

The common areas were covered with natural and walnut-colored wooden tiles, while the living room was dominated by marble to present an elegant atmosphere.

CONTEMPORARY HERITAGE PARK

In this research led design focused course I learned to look beyondW buildings and pay attention to the land itself — its history, water systems, slopes, and natural patterns. The focus was on reviving and protecting land & water heritage and working with the existing landscape, not against it. This approach made me think differently about design, seeing the

site as something to understand and respect. My project aimed to propose a complete architectural solution that supported reclaiming the historical natural setting, rather than building someting in the existing ground.
