Called House for Three Children, the three-storey house has a large window at the top on one side, from which light filters down to all levels.

On the first floor are the master bedroom and bathroom.

The stairs area and family room are window-less, but there is a large window on the third floor through which sunlight illuminates the first floor stairs area, and second floor family room.

I didn't punctuate the room, but composed three multi-function Islands to serve as beds, desks and storage area for each child.

The children live and play around these pieces of furniture like fishes gathering around undersea rocks.

This is new concept for kid's rooms.
