Years pass like water, but family is as solid as a rock.
The designer incorporated the element of "pebbles" into the home, drawing inspiration from how pebbles are continuously smoothed by the flowing stream, enduring the test of time to become rounded. A palette of earth tones served as the base, complemented by warm ambient lighting that guided and connected the warmth across the spaces. Children could run freely in a castle-like space, and pets could meander comfortably in any corner. The open plan fostered a deep visual connection among family members, with rounded corners eliminating worries about bumps. The space embraced occupants with its soft and comfortable color scheme.

The ceiling featured an irregular concave curve that became a highlight. The light cascaded down, creating a gradient ambiance reminiscent of a pebble-strewn streambed embracing a family. The design also cleverly concealed air conditioning units with curves, striking a balance between functionality and aesthetics. Large floor-to-ceiling windows brought in natural light. Finally, the curtains added a soft, flowing rhythm to the space, akin to time flowing over the surface of pebbles.
