This project is a single house in Namwon City, South Korea, which was commissioned by a son for the rest of his parents’ retirement, as his parents and the grandmother reside in the house. Wangjeong-dong, where the project is located, is composed of a residential environment of urban-rural complex type, with low-rise dwellings concentrated alongside a vegetable garden. Unlike the surrounding gable houses, DUNG GEUL HOUSE, which is designed to be a one-story building and finished with a flat roof that gently wraps around the house, sits close to the ground with a low posture.
A sense of openness and stability were needed at the same time for the daily life of parents. The fence was designed at eye level to the extent that it does not cause discomfort to the village. The low fence moderately blocks the gaze of the surroundings and created a space where the inner yard can be fully utilized. It is a device that introduces a line of horizontality and a layer that serves as the front line on the boundary of the dwelling, while at the same time reinforcing a sense of territory around the house in revealing the shape of the longitudinal site.
A second floor was not planned for DUNG GEUL HOUSE considering the utilization of the site, but separated the private space from public space and spread out with a yard in between. Due to the nature of rural life, neighbors often gather and chat, so the living room + kitchen + low wooden bench + yard were made into one area and placed in the front, separating it from personal space. Taking into account the human scale, the private space is boldly optimized and occupies the land. As a result, the external space, which is of a reasonable size, has an active mutual resilience with the internal space, and includes elements of our daily lives in various ways.
The pocket garden in the master room, which is planned as a traditional sliding door, expands the bedroom area, which may become cramped, and creates a quiet exterior landscaping. The grandmother’s room is located on the edge open towards the yard so as to survey the full sweep of the landscape.
