The interior space is designed to accommodate an elderly couple along with their beloved dog, with occasional visits from their grandchildren. Thus, the design concept is inspired by Tetris, demonstrated by the cubic cabinets. Each cabinet represents a different letter in the game, serving as functional storage units. The arrangement of cabinets also forms a looping circulation, providing children with the playful sensation of navigating through a maze.

In the common space, the J-shaped cabinet features a specially tailored gap at the child's height, allowing their grandchild to interact with the occupants from the study room. On the other hand, the Z-shaped cabinet offers dual functionality, with food storage in the front and space for the dog's necessities on the side.

In the master bedroom, the mirrors are strategically fixed with sticks, evoking the imagery of the letter "I" cube descending in the game. A half-height stone wall serves as a partition, separating two areas within the room: one side acts as the headboard, while the other side incorporates the bathroom faucets.
