1. Space
TOP #TAGS
The universe is a broad word that encompasses all the material, space, and time that exists in the
world. Would not the family's material, time, and space be like another small universe? The fact that
Sustainability Technology Materials
the word "universe" is composed of 宇(house) 宙(house) gives more meaning to our idea. We decided
to make a small universe of 13.4m X 13.4m squares, assuming that each of the planets, the family, Metaverse
would be involved in various ways and their time. Because the house was like a small universe of space
and time.

2. Space instead of walls
The space in which we have lived has always been divided by the wall, and the story of the individual
has been put in a defined and limited space. Personal time is only flowed and remembered in a closed
cube. We decided to split the space between space and another space instead of the wall. It is a space
as emptiness that has no purpose like the spaceless space of the universe and no function. Unlike a MIGIUI / Architect-K
perfectly disconnected wall, this voided space communicates with each space and provides an
ambiguous relationship between individual spaces. Time flows through space and space, creating
various stories and being remembered together. All the space that makes up the house flows and feels
like a universe.

3. Nature in space
At first meeting, the owner asked me to build a house which is spacious and living, a house which is
felt wide and a house which is good for nature. Figuring out his requirements, it was a general house
that gives a wide yard to the south and has a nice view in front. However, the land was in a new city
forming with divided territories by 230 ~ 265 m2. It was not easy to put these two propositions in these
public parcels. Luckily, there were roads and small reservoirs on the front, so it was a little free from SELECTED PRODUCTS
neighboring parcels.

presence over the head, but the sky that lays on the roof in the courtyard becomes a special sky where
the clouds flow and the wind is seen. Nature that spreads out in front of us is the background of our
everyday life, but the nature that we see through the wall that is long and wide is approaching as a
meaningful work like a picture of a width.

4. People in Nature
When viewed from the outside, it seems to be a cube-shaped building with all sides blocked, but in
fact, this house has a vacant space opened to the east, west, north. The cross-shaped empty space
through the house allows nature to penetrate deep into the house. And connecting the empty space is
a hallway connecting space and space. Unlike conventional formal houses that can only move from
space to space through the wall, this house must pass through a vacant space filled with nature. It is
the inevitable structure that experiences nature permeated in the middle of movement of space. It is
an inevitable but indirect experience of living in the middle of settlement. Assimilating gradually with
nature is our small desire for the owner who likes nature.

5. Space and Time

The main material of this house is exposed concrete. The outer cube that touches the nature each
other is the pine board exposure-finish that uses the texture of the tree, and the small inner courtyards
where the person lives are exposed concrete finish with various square pattern formwork. The most
important reason why we selected exposed concrete a"er a comparison of various materials was time.

This family, like a small universe, needed material properties that would grow with them and change
with them. Although the exposed concrete finish that reveals the properties of the concrete as it is
without additional finishing material is rugged and rough, it is the most unobtrusive, pure and natural
material that deeply accepts the light and the static image. On the ground fact that the exposed
concrete can melt the time of the family, it is the most appropriate material.
