Overview

Pyeongchang Brick HousePyeongchang Brick House

A house built on a site in Pyeongchang-dong, a high-end residential area of Seoul on a slope extending from the foothills of Bukhansan.

As with the surrounding houses, the plan is composed for a single family living on a flat area.

Because of the level difference of over 5m between front and back, we tried inserting a light-admitting space between the northern access road and the building to connect the front and rear yards — but it could not be applied, blocked by current law and administrative regulation in the permitting process, a lingering regret.
