Designer Fu-Tung Cheng of Cheng Design talks about his fascination with concrete as a construction material, and how a raw material palette has transformed this family home.

"Their home sat in a neighborhood of houses in a similar traditional style -- there were plenty of quaint gabled rooflines," Cheng says.
