The apartment can be found in a residential area in Sao Paulo. Brazil, the basic structure of this apartment is well-designed already, so there isn’t any heavy construction change made. The apartment belongs to a small family with young children, so we can find warm family touch even though the whole concept of the apartment is modern. The walnut carpentry on the wall is an excellent base to create contemporary, yet warm atmosphere.

This home belongs to deaf parents than their two children.
In the house, this is located in Itabashi ward, Tokyo is completed with two small rooms on the first level and one large room on the second level. All the levels are completed with 200mm square windows not only on the walls, but also on the roof and floor. The openings are made with a purpose. Since the parents are deaf and the children are having hearing ability, then the openings on the wall can be a media for communication between floors. For example, if the children want to call their parents on the first level, then they can drop their toy. The openings on the walls and roof are made to flow light and air inside the house.
