This house plan is in the plot size of 40 x 52 feet facing east. It is a five-story building. The entrance core of the floor open in two ways because there are two units in typical floors. In this plan, there are 3 bedrooms (2 of them have attached bathrooms and one common bathroom for the rest of the house), Kitchen is placed in the southeast direction with a separate utility area. The dining area is placed in the central portion of house. The client requires a special space to relax and study, so we provide a sitting cum study lounge in the house at the backside between rooms. 

Our consideration for the living area is to achieve an atmosphere of strength and serenity. Wall, ceiling, and cabinet work are expressed as unadorned interlocking sculptural blocks and planes, resulting in a calm understated setting. Large openings and glass railings in front has been placed to offer panoramic views of the lake.

This plot is open from three sides, we discussed with our neighbor to leave 18 inches of space for air circulation and ventilation. The neighbor understands the concept and agrees as it is also beneficial for him. 
What is the core of the building?
The core is a vertical space used for the circulation and services of the building. The core includes staircases, elevators, services shafts. The core allows people to move between the floors of a building.
