brief description:
A small two-story house the foot print of which is almost the same as the shape of land like a flagpole.
This two-story dwelling has only two main rooms. One of them is ldk on the 1st floor, the other is a master bedroom on the ground floor.
The house cannot afford to have a kid’s room physically. Instead, there are extra spaces, around the stairway on each floor, and a loft above the area with an access to the roof terrace. These spaces are suppose to be used for their kid in different ways and would work like a room as a whole
