This small-scale apartment aims to be open for sufficient daylighting. Asymmetrical glass-recessed sliding doors, inspired from the artwork, The Weather Project, of the artist, Olafur Eliasson, in which the shape implies the impression of sunset, where humans perceive natural powers in an artificial space. Pine veneers and colorful furniture paired with black laminates and cement backdrops, of which the paint is derived from a patent topcoat, made from upcycling sediments of local reservoirs. Neon tubes provide another mood ambiance for residents, and highlights the identity of the space.
