In order to achieve a sense of grandeur in the living room while minimizing the presence of columns, a strategic design approach has been employed. The columns have been thoughtfully positioned on a single side of the space, allowing for an unobstructed view and an enhanced sense of openness. To further enhance this aesthetic, a long cantilever structure has been ingeniously incorporated, supported by a concealed concrete truss nestled within the walls between the bedrooms on the third floor. This innovative combination of a lightweight structure and the discreetly integrated concrete truss effectively covers the designated area, resulting in a seamless and visually captivating living space. The combination structure elegantly spans nearly 12 meters, ensuring a seamless flow of space while eliminating the need for supporting columns in the riverside area. This design choice allows users to fully immerse themselves in the captivating view of the river bend, undisturbed by any visual obstructions.
