The building is divided into 2 sub-buildings, the front part next to the street as a pharmacy and the back part as residential area. Due to its building type, the layout is flanked with adjacent buildings therefore the house is designed to have courtyard with skylight in between 2 sub-buildings to provide daylight access and completely separate the commercial area from the residence.

With its large scale, the design purpose is to redesign the commercial building space into a homy scale by creating a small house hidden in the back of the site to become more cozy for family living and create a common space that connect every area in the house as the family requested. The residential area is transformed from 3-storey shophouse to be like a 2-storey detached house by simple design approach for example, the courtyard balcony; to disguise the third floor which is pharmacy warehouse, and double space in common area which is rarely seen in this type of building in this neighborhood.
