The project began with a doctor couple’s vision of an ideal home — a space that breathes, where nature flows seamlessly indoors, offering solace between long shifts through dappled light and soft melodies. Within 156 m², the designer proposed the concept of an “Unbound Dwelling”, where nature, music, and the couple’s sense of medical precision converge into a coherent architectural language. The result is more than a retreat; it is a vessel for their passions, memories, and quiet emotions.



The original floor plan limited sightlines and disrupted the flow of movement. The designer reoriented the main axis to liberate both sight and circulation with a spacious horizontal sequence.
