Sometimes when we visit a new site, there is a site that makes us think about what architecture can do. And most of these concerns come about when faced with nature. Seo-myeon, located in Namhae-gun, faces the western sea, as its name means. When the lights were illuminated one by one at an industrial complex in Yeosu, 7km away with the sunset in the background, and when large ships passed over the blue sky, the only concern that architects could have on this land was how to show the sea. We wanted to create a space that would capture such a scene where we would not get bored even if I sat modestly facing the ocean and watched it all day long.
When I first walked towards the ground, I was convinced that this place “should be built as low as possible.” A single-level building with a flat roof, a roof with gravel that can shine like a cloud, and a scene where the ocean can be seen beyond it were used as entry points to this place. In order to make the most of the land with a build-up ratio of 20%, the horizontal movement scenario was composed of beginning, development, transition, acceleration, climax, and the scene in each process was created with architectural elements (walls, columns, floors, eaves, skylights) to create various scenes facing the sea in horizontal motion.
If we enter the entrance space while looking at the sea over the roof, we will naturally sail inside along the wall (starting point). If we walk with your back to the sea, we will walk along the dark brown water space on the floor (unfolding), and the wall floating above it hides the inner courtyard and leads the way. When we reach the entrance, the sea disappears from view and you feel a completely different air (transition).
Once inside, the light falls on the wall facing the front. The light coming down at the skylight makes us recognize that we have entered the room. Like a wall in an entrance space, this wall changes the direction of movement from the inside and faces the ocean in front (transition). The hidden ocean is shown again. Beyond the wall on the inside, another wall on the outside was arranged intersecting each other to capture a scene of the sea between the two walls.
The interior space is arranged linearly parallel to the sea. Through long movements, it moves with the sea on its side every time it reaches each space (acceleration). The living room and kitchen where you can stay, are composed of a single space, but separated by a low wall and a floor level. The floor of the living room is 40cm down, and the eye level was adjusted so that when sitting on the sofa, you could only see the ocean beyond the waves of the pool outside (peak). The bedroom is planned as a separate space by placing it on the opposite side of the living room, and it is a space where you can enjoy both the sunrise and sunset (peak) by facing the middle ground on one side and the ocean on the other side.
Contrary to the living room, the floor of the bedroom is 20cm up to further compress the space vertically and increase the concentration of the scene facing the sea. If you walk with the sea on your side, your view will naturally be directed to the outside space. After a long period of internal movement, the outer space meets the compressed air and the ocean as if the field of vision is clearly open (ending).
