The building, which was about 40 years old, was decorated according to the needs of the time. However, needs change with the times. Although it was designed for families at the time, we believe that the area and specifications are inadequate for today's needs for families, so the plan is focused on accommodating young friends.

After removing excess finishes, the house was constructed using only a functional box frame made of local lumber milled into 35mm squares. The frame creates a rhythmic space while fulfilling the minimum necessary function.
