Upon approaching the MHL House, one might perceive a sense of separation from the street, as the exterior presents a façade that appears introverted. However, this impression belies the vibrant life within. The design philosophy revolves around creating a harmonious environment that fosters interaction and connection among family members. The sheltered parking area, constructed from perforated iron plates, serves as a subtle introduction to the innovative design principles that define this home.

The heart of the MHL House is its expansive living area, where the kitchen seamlessly merges with the living room, emphasizing openness and togetherness. The cleverly designed C-shaped structure wraps around a central green space, reminiscent of the Garden of Eden, offering a tranquil retreat for the family. This garden symbolizes the nurturing spirit of the family, providing a private oasis that invites relaxation and joy.

A key aspect of the house's design is its response to the unique needs of one of the younger family members who requires constant supervision and connection. The layout ensures that all main spaces, including the garden, are visually accessible, allowing for quick reactions and an overarching sense of security. This thoughtful integration of space reflects the family's values and highlights the importance of care in architectural design.

In essence, the MHL House is more than just a living space; it is a narrative of love and compassion, skillfully woven into its architectural framework. The design, inspired by the family's life, stands as a testament to the fact that sometimes the most profound inspirations come from within our own experiences. The MHL House invites all who enter to appreciate the beauty of connection and the importance of home.
