It can, it should and it is comfortable! Passive House in exposed concrete and all on one floor! The structure grows and the formwork follows it.

You have to fix what is unused and thus transforming closed space into open space through new materials, call the comfort and make it unique when personalized. Tiled roofs are smashed down, opened up new spans, concrete walls are projected and curved lines are mixed with the existent broken geometry .
