House OZ that brings open and closed places together with cladding lamellas, permeable pergolas, and inner court for appreciating the value of open spaces is designed to offer its users a life in a continuous flow. A bright courtyard, which receives controlled sunlight due to added roof window and lamellas, main terrace, and living room as a transition between the courtyard and the terrace, can work as one place due to operable sliding glass windows.

The little kitchen area that is separated from the living room with a low TV cabinet is a part of the continuous flow. Kitchen cabinets continue to under the stairs, and continuity of material strengthens the feeling of flow. The bold and prominent stairs and bridge in the continuation of the staircase are designed with a vibrant and contrasting color to prevent the loss of vertical circulation elements in strong horizontal communication between spaces.
