The Design

About Slope House Woning

Slope House is 'n dubbelverdieping-woning geleë op 'n sagte helling in die stad Wonju, Suid-Korea. Die hoofontwerpkonsep is 'n hellende oppervlak wat as beide dak en fasade dien. Die dak gee 'n sterk visuele impak en herinner aan die helling van die Kam-Ak-berg naby die terrein. 'n Terras is in die dak uitgekerf en kyk uit oor die oostelike berg, wat wye uitsigte deur die jaar bied. Sinkpanele bedek die dak en weerstaan swaar sneeu, terwyl liggrys baksteen die mure vorm. Cortenstaal verbind die twee materiale. Die bruto bougebied is 187 vierkante meter.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: The project is located on a gentle slope of a mountainous topography in Wonju city, South Korea. Main design concept for the house is to compose a sloped surface that doubles as roof and facade. The roof is not only an apparatus that gives strong visual impact to residents and visitors, but also a metaphor of the slope of the Kam-Ak mountain at the site. Also the sculpted out terrace on the roof, which is facing toward the eastern mountain, provides a spectacular view throughout a year.
Dimensions & Packaging: Gross Built Area: 187m2
Total Floors: 2
Tags: Roof, Slope, Mountain, Terrace, Stair
Production Technology: There are three major materials in use; zinc panel, brick, and corten steel. Dark colored zinc used on roof is in contrast with light gray brick wall, which differentiates the two distinct elements. Also, zinc was chosen for roof finish in order to resist the harsh winter with heavy snow. The third corten steel is used as an accent material between the zinc and brick, bridging the two finish materials.
Design Challenge: The site is known for the harsh winter weather. The harsh weather justifies the compact volume of the project.
Inspiration: The inspiration of the project came from the Kam-ak mountain near the site. Conceptually the gentle slope of the mountain extends to the house, creating the sloped roof which is a main feature of the design.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2019 in Wonju city, Kangwon, South Korea and finished in Mar 2020.
