he house located site is the foot of Mt.Jeongbal. The site is adjacent to public green tract area 40m-roadside. There are various shapes of house including American-style wooden house. It is an exclusive residential area under developing where people could grasp the Korean public culture of architecture at the end of 1990's. It was an intended aim of the design to form a 'garden' where have a various character by leasing most of the site and to present 'spatial drama' which would create various/abundant stories and pictures with the conversation and connection of garden which is an outside space. It was the work to do to find the program to satisfy mentioned aims.
The 'courtyard' separated with the road space is formed with the result of the zoning of living zone and bed zone by stories and separating the master's bedroom and children's room through the stair and the bridge. The flotation' of annex at the facade of first floor functioned as a decisive cause to clear the various unsolved element at once.
With this, the gardens, including piloti garden in the front, main garden toward sky, sunken garden, courtyard adjacent living/dining room, roof garden beside shower room, occupy most of the site. They talk about abundant and various spatial story and action with the different quality of the space. In addition, it became a 'landscape' according to the seasonal change from the connected inside space. The pavilion on the lower part of piloti garden, the floor of Korean verandah and the wooden stair in front of the living room is an 'object' which is intended to be in the garden. They appear with expression of establishing art. An 'event' could be expected by going down from the pavilion floating on the pond to sunken garden and the connection from the floor of Korean verandah to Korean-style room or to home bar. That is, there are latent a lot of spatial drama in the course that is the connection of the outside space and the inside space. The main building and the annex are connected with different level and it occludes every half floor, so it enriches the course of climb. If you goes up along the stair, you could meet with the visual landscape through the window and it reduces by half of the burden of vertical rising. So it achieves initial aims to remove the concept of story.
I intended to connect every room with every garden in the house and this arrangement satisfies the seasonal weather condition because most of the rooms facing north-side. The program formed basic configuration and the condition of sloping roof, requested by the guide of urban designing of new town, set limit to the formative alternative plan. The image of 'wing', 'soaring', 'freezing of movement' may be a latent expression a preference of the essential stylishness of the roof of traditional architecture.
