MT-House is a new, elegantly designed two-storey private residence with a basement, crafted to provide bright and spacious living spaces tailored to a young family’s needs. Despite the constraints of a small lot, the architect ingeniously shaped the building into a T-shape configuration to maximize elevation areas and ensure ample natural light throughout. The exterior elevations are distinguished by a bold, continuous white stripe that elegantly wraps around the gray volumes of the structure. This cohesive design gesture not only defines the balcony system but also sets the house apart within the urban fabric, leveraging its corner plot location for visual impact and practicality.
The ground floor is designed as an expansive open space encompassing the office, dining room, and living room areas, each seamlessly flowing into the next. Large windows and minimalist partitions ensure abundant natural light while maintaining spatial fluidity. The kitchen, strategically separated, provides a functional yet discreet space for culinary activities. A central fireplace and library shelves integrated into a solid wall composition add warmth and character to the communal area. On the first floor, the private quarters are meticulously arranged, comprising three bedrooms, each offering access to the balcony. This level is dedicated to tranquility and privacy, designed to provide comfortable retreats for rest and relaxation.
Throughout MT-House, the architectural approach favors simplicity and minimalism, creating an ambiance of calm and comfort. Clean lines, uncluttered spaces, and a subdued color palette enhance the sense of openness and tranquility, seamlessly blending the outdoor environment with the interior living spaces.
Its thoughtful layout, efficient use of space, and harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality make it a serene urban oasis. Whether enjoying the expansive communal areas or retreating to the private bedrooms, the residents of it, experience a home that not only meets their practical needs but also enriches their daily lives with understated elegance and comfort.
