YELLOW DOOR HOUSE

There is a kind of charm that an old house possesses. In this five-room residential renovation, the challenge was not only to preserve this quality but also to enhance it while matching it with the character of its new owners. 

​

An intricate relation betweens spaces is the most heartwarming feature of this house. Spaces all communicate through wide doors, often more than 2 for each room. It allows for continuity of spaces and also offers the freedom of having distinct areas. The main body of the house comprises of one study, a living room, a dining room, a bedroom, and a guest room. Secondary spaces are also included as follows: one kitchen,  two bathrooms (one for her, one for him), and a dressing room. In the design phase, we did a bit of shuffling around with these spaces until we found the perfect balance trough representativity, functionality, and intimacy of each room. 

​

The house came with its own set of needs. Structural work has been done on foundations, parts of the walls and roof. There was a concern for energy efficiency there for the entire house got insulated, and wooden joinery with high-efficiency glass have been put up. These are meant to prolonge the lifespan of the building while making it appropriate for our day's comfort standards.
