The existing layout at the lower ground floor level was preventing the communication among the different living areas. Therefore, it was necessary to reconfigure the internal layout offering open spaces and improving the circulation and communication between floors. Removing the storage room that was dividing the lounge area with the dinning area helped to create a visual link where the kitchen became the centre space of this floor. 

A built-in L shape sofa in the lounge area creates the link between the formal living area with the dining.

The continuous polished concrete flooring and the encaustic cement area contrast with the oak timber flooring in the rest of the house. 

The dining area is defined by a patch area in the flooring with a designed geometric encaustic cement tile. 

A new layout for the first floor included opening the original office where now introduces foldable screen divider with metal structure and translucent glass that will add privacy when necessary. 

The guest’s bathroom is updated with a new walking shower and geometric tiles that add sophistication and sense of space.
