COLORS is a house planned for clients who consists of father and daughter. This project is highly required the elements of the interior design as well as architectural plan. Entrance hall is composed of a large-long slit atrium and roughly painted mortar stairs, functionally dividing the father and daughter's living area as a buffer zone. The symmetrically installed slit top light is dictated an impression of the space as if the light pours down in the dark staircase such as a setting of a film. The father's living area, right side from the entrance hall, is a simple Japanese modern. In addition, independent atelier, floating wood box located in a center court, is also designed with the modern Japanese out looking and domed ceiling, reflecting natural light vaguely. For daughter's space, left side from the entrance hall, Washitsu is placed at the first floor and home to the courtyard to chill with her guests. The Washitsu is coordinated with more vivid colors such as red painted wall, black Tatami and colored Andon as well as Fusuma which is originally painted. Main bedroom in the second floor is designed like a designers hotel in Europe instead of traditional Japanese color coordination as it makes her positive in the art.
