'Giving the flat slabs an area to live in'

A 5-story building complex with one basement floor and five above-ground floors stacked on thin slabs that spread out flat. Ten residential units, including the owner's residence and office, are allocated in different positions on each slab. On the lower floors, RC unit boundary walls are arranged in a radial pattern from the central atrium, while on the upper floors, steel plate furniture is distributed discretely. There are no structural walls at all on the outer or inner perimeter, and the randomly placed unit boundary walls, steel plate furniture, and flat bars (50 x 100) bear the burden. Each unit (approximately 60 to 180 square meters) is basically a large studio. They can be flexibly partitioned with movable partitions and storage space. All of the exterior surfaces are openings, creating a sense of expansive space on the slab. A large, open space that is continuous with the exterior is created even at ground level, and is “directly connected to the dwelling units through the central atrium via this pilotis.
