Realization and Technology: To further respond to the guest friendly criteria, the designer pays special attention to ensure the connectedness between the indoor and outdoor.

A carefully curated rooftop consists of lounge area, bar and planting zone becomes an ideal place for stargazing and hosting cocktail parties. Eventually, the homeowner’s desire for a comfy, unfettered yet highly interactive abode is achieved.
