Visual harmony and aesthetic
Now, more than ever, interior design is a balance of form and function, a dialogue between architecture, materials and finishes that transform and make the most of the space involved.

The building is made of concrete and galvanized steel sheets, which reflect the dull light making it look massive. It is laid out to be accommodated within the L-shaped lot, and stands facing the shrine on the opposite side. The building is used as a studio and gallery of the photographer and his residence as well. The long thin passage serving as an alley to go around the gallery has other functions than a mere pathway; it is also used as a space to post artworks and photos on the wall.
