House of Light and Wood is a minimal residence located in Beijing, China, designed by NothingDesign. The owner of the four-story villa, an actor, wanted a space that was calm and simple, yet unique with sophisticated idiosyncrasies. The original layout of the house is relatively square, with the living-dining room partition on the left and the entrance hall and living room on the right, but the space is not permeable enough due to a developer’s gift of a patio in the center of the building.
