This residence applies interlocking volumetric design to create a dynamic living space tailored to multi generational needs. Inspired by natural rhythms, the project uses layered volumes oriented to optimize light, functionality, and privacy. It addresses the challenges of steep terrain and regulatory constraints with a thoughtful arrangement of adaptable spaces, balancing communal and individual needs while supporting modern living demands such as remote work and flexibility.
Jimmy Yung is an architectural and interior designer dedicated to exploring how human beings find their sense of home. Cities have been expanding for centuries, and the population has increased dramatically. With the rapid advancement of internet services and the ongoing threats of infectious diseases, the concept of dwelling must evolve. Traditional functions once defined by specific activities such as offices, schools, libraries, playgrounds, sports fields, and restaurants are becoming increasingly interconnected like a cloud and condensed into a compact, miniaturized world. As a result, the residence must respond to the desires of its inhabitants, functioning like a treasure box.
