Daebong-dong Commercial Skip Floor
FUNCTION:
Commercial Cafe
LOCATION:
South Korea
YEAR:
2018
ABOUT
We tried to divide a large floor space into several small spaces. For this purpose, we set the basic direction as a skip floor, and it is a two-story building, but it actually became a space of four floors up to the outside deck on the roof. On the same floor, exposed concrete wall was exposed in the middle and divided it into two parts again

Sista House

ABOUT
Sinsu-dong is a dangerous residential area with many old houses in Seoul. A young couple in their 30s wanted to build a rental house here for women. They were usually concerned with and felt a critical mind with housings for women. Sista House, aiming for a comfortable and sensuous living environment for young women in their 20s and 30s, has given each space its own character to differentiate itself from existing multiple housings within its limited area.

ABOUT
In the case of exposed concrete, it is far unused material in this fishing village. However, 2m2 architects used combination of familiar materials e.g. stone and wood in order to look familiar. It requires much efforts for arhcitect to pay attention in detail to express each property of matter. Through many discussions and cooperation with contractors, it was realized one by one gradually.
