Designed by jhy architect & associates, the project is sited in a greenbelt zone of the south of Seoul, a region rich with green nature and springs. It has an atypical boundary, which is prominent feature for design site plan, comes from a redefinition of park zone on the north mountain, Guryong-san. Architect started to design Cheon_kyung_jae with site plan which could accomplish “open view” and “closed privacy”.”V” shape site plan which could accomplish spatial extroversion and introversion composed with a spring at the center as well as help to divide the volume to be seen the house proper from a pedestrian level. The architectural language, composed of straight lines, sharp angles and points of inflection, comes from the edge of the site, applied uniformly to this project interior and exterior as well. Various angles, above all, represent the spatial order and the metaphor of dynamism of life through interior elements. A waffle shaped ceiling element contains light and ventilation system in the living room is the specially designed sculptural element which makes space deeper visually through mirror effect.
This project highlights the composition of architectural and environmental features which motivate our senses to recognize space and materials ahead of the rational, as well as “high quality environmental ability” which is the central to the house criteria.
