The first step was to remove most of existing partitions, except bathroom, to create one big space. The next was to insert three gently-curved walls, which are not from floor to ceiling but have 20cm clearance from ceiling. The walls create a variety of spaces for each family member keeping privacy. At the same time, openings on the walls connects the spaces and the family each other. The separation and the connection are not static.
When one of the family is walking in the apartment, relationships between spaces and family are being changed every moment. At the night, ceiling reflecting lights from the top of the walls also indicate characteristics of the space.
