The homeowners, with the help of architect Randy Chan of Zarch Collaboratives, transformed the interiors into a modern white box, to not only accommodate their art collection, but also meet the needs of their two children. Old doors from Vietnam are recycled as tabletops here.

The structure of the home was internally gutted and completely redesigned. The profile of the exposed stairways nnake their way up the walls, taking on an almost sculptural quality.

It's refreshing to see art pieces that aren't confined in glass cases. The suits of armour from Vietnam came in a set of five. The restaurant signage is also an artwork commenting on consumerism.
