Site size: 3,300 square feet

Project size: 4,300 square feet

Program: The client wanted to be able to interact freely with neighbors while maintaining a strong sense of privacy and ownership. A typical gable roof, maximum day lighting, and visual connectivity throughout the house’s three stories were also desired.

Location: Yong-In, South Korea

Solution: The height of the house’s main space spans its three stories, allowing light to filter through each floor. The south facing structure maximizes glazed surface area while affording a certain degree of privacy.

Construction and materials: The house’s white stucco-laminated exterior is composed of steel reinforced concrete with a slab deck. Interior walls are finished in vinyl paint, while floors feature laminated marble tiles.

 

Additional Information

Completion date: February 2017

Gross square footage: 4,280 sf

Total project cost: $1.7 million

Total construction cost: $700,000

Owner: Eunha Jeong
