DIVIDED BY LIGHT

Divided by Light explores separation without disconnection, where a skylight becomes the only boundary between two halves of the home. Instead of walls or doors, light defines thresholds, shaping how spaces relate to one another. An inward-facing and an outward-facing balcony respond differently to the same sky, creating dual experiences within a single volume. The house is conceived as a continuous section, stitched together by light, void, and movement.

DETAILS

Designed as a contemporary family residence, the house is organized around two balconies—one internal and one external—linked through a central skylight. Living spaces unfold vertically and visually, allowing light to guide movement rather than rigid circulation paths. Material contrasts and layered surfaces reinforce the dialogue between openness and enclosure. The result is a home where light is not an accent, but the primary architectural element shaping everyday life.
