What if the most beautiful homes aren't the ones that reveal everything at first glance?
In this episode of Design Seed, we step inside Veil House by Studio Bikin, an extraordinary modern tropical home that completely redefines indoor-outdoor living. Wrapped in a custom concrete veil, this home proves that privacy, natural light, cross ventilation and breathtaking openness can all coexist in one seamless architectural experience.
From a resort-inspired swimming pool that flows effortlessly into the living and dining spaces, to carefully framed views of lush greenery, every corner of this dream home has been thoughtfully designed to blur the boundaries between architecture and nature. Rather than relying on oversized glass walls alone, Veil House creates an immersive living experience where every space feels connected to the outdoors.

This video features a tour of the \"Car House,\" a unique residential project designed by Studio Bikkit. The home challenges traditional notions of openness by using a protective outer shell to balance privacy with nature. Built primarily from custom concrete blocks and terrazzo, the design creates a transition from a \"hard\" exterior to a serene, light-filled interior, integrating greenery and flexible spaces for a growing family.
If you had a piece of land to build your dream house,
What did you do with it?
When we think about our dream home,
We might imagine opening everything up.
More glass, more sunlight, more views.
But what if the most intriguing answer isn't about opening the house?
but to roll it up into a train?
My name is Alex Lee and I am from DesignSea.
Today's episode will take us on a visit to
A train house designed by Studio Bikkit.
This is a house that challenges the idea of openness.
by placing the train between the house and the outside world.
Behind it lies a stunning house bathed in sunlight,
Naturally and truly connected with nature.
