The site is situated at the corner of a large parking lot that is hidden within a block in Ganghwa-daero. Although it is located in the center of
Ganghwa-eup, it cannot be seen from the main street, and the side street that is consistently used by local residents goes across the
parking lot. Since it is also connected to the small alley behind the site, it is a place that is frequently visited by the neighborhood. Furthermore,
as it is surrounded by large and small houses as well as commercial facilities, its geographical and environmental benefits and drawbacks of
the program (commercial facilities and houses) are mixed.
Each space serves as a layer for the next space. The cafe on the first floor is hidden by rough walls. Since it faces the parking lot and the
five-story commercial facility, a space where the view is focused to the inside was needed rather than a space that is open to the exterior. The
rough concrete wall provokes the curiosity of those passing by, and creates a space that is silently surrounded for visitors. The transitional
space between the concrete wall and the cafe space allows light into the interior space and protects it from the complicated exterior. When
the cafe hall is entered, another hidden exterior space appears inside. This small garden just for visitors creates a visual expansion of the
interior space and allows the change of seasons to be felt.
The living room and bedroom of the two-story detached house are joined and divided through the doors (opening walls). In a living space, a
structure with a variable nature allows the expansion of a limited space. The 100m2 house has a -shaped structure that is divided into the
kitchen- living room and rooms-balcony, but it extends into a single space through the doors (opening walls). This, in particular, allows the
sun in the daytime and the setting sun at nightfall to be included in the living room.
The curved facade that meets the balcony protects the living space from the outside, and at the same time, allows natural light to be
brought into the inside. The shape of the light and shadow created in the bedroom by the curves allows the change of time to be felt and
paints colorful pictures in the small house space. As the high ceiling created along the sloped roof vertically expands the area of the narrow
horizontal space and provides a sense of openness to the living room and kitchen, and as the morning sunlight illuminates the bedroom
space at the end of the slope, an ample space is created.
The form language of the horizontal and vertical, as well as the straight and curved lines were portrayed based on the placeness of the land.
On a site, the horizontal and vertical lines that mark the beginning and the end are facing forward as if to shelter the neighborhood. Those who
pass the existing side street see a new milestone of the neighborhood, and those who approach through the alley perceive a vertical
symbolism due to the curve. Each element has its own outer skin. The walls that form the horizontal sides were finished with rough concrete,
the volume of the curves with bricks and the roof with zinc, and this allows an overall sense of unity to be felt and completes the
architectural language.
