The remodeled house features an unconventional layout, connecting the three floors to accommodate a variety of activities, including living, working, and dancing. Unlike traditional arrangements, the spaces dedicated to these pursuits do not follow a typical hierarchy of privacy. Instead, functional adjacencies are articulated to serve the owner’s close-knit community, with the house serving as both office and weekend respite—urban and suburban. Appealing to the entire community of people involved in this dwelling takes precedence over the usual concern for resident privacy. For instance, given that dancing, particularly in groups, is subject to strict public restrictions, a space dedicated to this is relocated to the underground area. It is soundproofed, and its access stairs are strategically positioned deep within the house, away from the entrance. Meanwhile, the office, usually kept separate from private living areas, is situated on the upper floor with the bedrooms, distanced from social activities instead of private ones.
