An urban tiny house located at a 18-square-meter site has been renovated to fit the owner's needs. The renovated house consists of a living-dining-kitchen area and also a leather fashion shop on the ground level, and two bedroom suites on the above floors with contemporary yet traditionally-inspired interior design. Two old brick facades were entirely replaced by glass-blocks, an uncommon yet unique material. At daytime, the house engages natural light and blends with the surroundings. At night, when lights on, the house becomes a magically sparkling lantern in the middle of the neighborhood.
