Hagye-dong Residence II

A project demolishing an old house tended over three generations to create a new space for two households.

A son known in the neighborhood as devoted was directly involved, considering spaces and details for his widowed father and generating diverse ideas.

Each household's space is placed east and west on the first floor, with the family's shared space at the center. Placing a shared bathroom and kitchen near the father's room enhanced convenience, and the sculptural visibility of the segmented mass blocks was heightened by the contrast of blue-grey brick and white limestone.

Considering the materiality and visual effect of each material, emptiness and fullness are applied so that the internal connection of spaces and the sculptural harmony of the exterior stand out.
