Other Projects by Steven Holl Architects
Daeyang Gallery and House
Seoul, South Korea
Jury Winner, 2013 A+Awards, Residential - Single Family Home
The private gallery and house is sited in the hills of the Kangbuk
section of Seoul, Korea. The project was designed as an experiment
parallel to a research studio on "the architectonics of music". The
basic geometry of the building is inspired by a 1967 sketch for a music
score by the composer Istvan Anhalt, "Symphony of Modules," discovered
in a book by John Cage titled "Notations".
Three pavilions; one for entry, one residence, and one guest house,
appear to push upward from a continuous gallery level below. A sheet of
water establishes the plane of reference from above and below.
The idea of space as silent until activated by light is realized in the
cutting of 55 skylight strips in the roofs of the three pavilions. In
each of the pavilions, 5 strips of clear glass allow the sunlight to
turn and bend around the inner spaces, animating them according to the
time of day and season. Proportions are organized around the series 3,
5, 18, 13, 21, 34, 55.
Views from within the pavilions are framed by the reflection pool which
is bracketed by gardens that run perpendicular to the skylight strips.
In the base of the reflecting pool, strips of glass lenses bring dappled
light to the white plaster walls and white granite floor of the gallery
below.
A visitor arrives through a bamboo formed garden wall at the entry
court, after opening the front door and ascending a low stair. He or
she can turn to see the central pond at eye level and take in the whole
of the three pavilions floating on their own reflections.
The interiors of the pavilions are red and charcoal stained bamboo with
the skylights cutting through a red bamboo ceiling. Exteriors are a
rain skin of specially treated brass with ages naturally within the
landscape.
