This is a single-family house for one client and a weekender for relaxing on the weekends. The house was designed to be simple while focusing on a single life, as it only needed to contain the life of one person.
The relationship with the village and the main house is more important than the house itself. The newly built house should not add weight to the village or announce its presence in an idyllic landscape of mostly one- story houses along low stone walls. The new house should not overwhelm or overshadow the main house. Design team also hoped not to degrade the yard and fields that were originally used by the main house. The new house should not interfere with the daily use of the tiller and other farming implements of the homestead. In addition, the new house required a private yard for entertaining guests and relatives, as well as convenient access to and from the main house.
The layout of the house was determined to accommodate these needs. Design team tried to make it a new kitchen/dining/ living room extended from the kitchen in the main house. They also prepared a space to cool off after working in the vegetable garden in the front yard and organizing farming tools. The resulting C-shaped building naturally creates a private backyard area where clients can relax and enjoy the chestnut trees.
Initially, design team planned to build a two-story house to spend most daily living in the new building because the main house was old. However, eventually, it became a one-story house and served as an annex that coexisted with the main house. It just has a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, a study, and a bathroom. Design team put a lot of effort into the study, which was a focused space for writing professional books and a cafe-type space for relaxing and spending time with friends. The study was planned to be as big as the kitchen and living room combined. It was placed on the opposite side of the main living space, like an annex within an annex.
Although it's a small house, as the client originally wanted to have a contemplative home, design team focused on the request and made a few changes. They installed a few devices to make the space interesting. The front windows can be closed when the owner is away or in the summer when the western sun is beating down. The 6-piece door can be opened and closed in various ways to change the expression of the backyard and the inside mood. The four-piece Korean-style sliding door in the living room can be fully open and hidden.
The eaves are installed in front of the backyard, entrance hall, and kitchen. They will recall the memories of the previous Korean-style main house during childhood and protect people from the rain and sun. The house is also partially finished with natural wood. Wood materials are used mainly on the north side and under the eaves to minimize deformation of the wood. The deck is used for the bottom of the columns and the bottom of the shutters and floated to minimize contact with water. Buyeo Byeolse can be summarized as a country style. No special landscaping is conducted for the 2,314m2, except for the house, and the boundary between the house and the field are not clear. However, only the yard in front of the main house, actually used for farming, is finished with cement for tillers and farming equipment. Nevertheless, overgrown bushes and chestnut trees are seen from the bench in the backyard or the desk in the study, making the decomposed granite soil finished yard look natural. The pocket garden next to the porch will be gradually filled with bamboo and stone lanterns, and the trees that the client has been planting one by one will soon grow taller than his height. Over time, the house will be greened with items left over from the client's tenure.
