Design Process
Renewing an old typology of 1960s Tong Lau. The living room expands into one of the small bedrooms and the bathroom. The bathroom swaps places with the kitchen; (1) The open kitchen becomes a part of the social gathering area. (2) While the Bathroom can have space for more amenities. By doing this, the living room can get more natural light from different sides.
