O-Studio

An office space was planned on the second floor, and an independent unit on the first floor to accommodate visitors. The building became three separate towers, each with their individual characteristic representing the activities they house. The “private tower” with the soundproof studio and bathroom, the “peaceful tower” with the study and bedroom, and the “watch tower” with the living room and meeting room with views of their quiet garden filled with acorn trees, sheltered from the busy public road on the other side.
