Serenity House
"Serenity within an urban envelope—where flowing volumes, sunlight, and a central kitchen create connected spaces for everyday and festive life."

Amidst a dense urban setting, the site offered limited opportunities to connect with nature. The design process began with extensive site analysis, focusing on the relationship between users, their everyday routines, and festive gatherings. Intermediate walls were removed to open up the interiors, allowing public spaces to flow seamlessly and sunlight to permeate through large volumes. The kitchen was planned as the central anchor of the house, complemented by customized spaces such as a prayer room for intimacy and character. Service areas like the utility and storage rooms were intentionally placed in low-lit zones, ensuring that the brighter, more active spaces remain inviting and connected.
