Daegu Yeongyeong-dong commercial-residential building
Buk-gu, Daegu, South Korea
This is a commercial-residential mixed-use building developed in a public housing district located near the center of Daegu, at the foot of Palgong Mountain. The client intended to have commercial spaces on the first floor and three residential units on the second and third floors, with all the units, including the commercial spaces, initially planned for family use. While the housing requirements were minimal, the client requested an external space like a courtyard. After discussions with Utah, the project was expanded to four floors, and instead of a courtyard, a large terrace was designed on the rooftop to allow more active use of outdoor space.
The overall layout of the house was designed with a focus on creating a spacious shared area for the family while also considering the needs of the couple, who would continue to live in the house into their later years. The newly added fourth floor was designed to serve as a retreat-like space for the couple. The central family room on the fourth floor was given a high vaulted ceiling to enhance the feeling of openness, and the interior finishes were done with birch plywood to create a warmer atmosphere, distinct from the third floor. The roof was designed to be expansive, and the terrace, with its wide eaves, provides a shaded space with a 'numaru' (traditional Korean floor space), allowing the family to escape Daegu’s hot sun. Sitting on the terrace, enjoying the garden and vegetable plot, evokes the feeling of being in a small detached house with a yard.
The lower floor facade was designed with a rounded corner where the commercial area meets the street, making the building feel soft and approachable for pedestrians. The rounded corner contrasts with the upper part of the building, where the direction is reversed, creating a rhythm through variation. The curtain wall glass and the exterior material on the lower floors were designed in darker tones, while the upper floors were light-toned to give the impression of the building's mass floating. The strong horizontal segmentation of the facade is complemented by vertically arranged long brick tiles, adding a sense of balance to the elevation.
