The Design

About Escape Casa

Escape House és una casa de formigó inusual i inesperada en un poble típic. El significat d'Escape House és ambigu. Presenta una forma monolítica i tancada al costat del carrer mentre que s'obre a les vistes del bosc. 'E' significa diferent. La casa crea un paisatge diferent al poble, i l'estructura de plantes escalonades genera diverses experiències espacials i vistes dramàtiques com ara una vista panoràmica del bosc des de la sala d'estar. Escape House és la nostra destinació final per escapar de la vida quotidiana ordinària,

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Our intention of the design is to make an unusual and unexpected concrete house in the typical town. The meaning of the E-scape house is ambiguous. ‘E’ means different. The house makes different scenery in the city, and residents can experience various views from the inside of the house, such as a panoramic view from the living room. Home is our final destination of escaping from ordinary daily life.
Dimensions & Packaging: Site area: 225.60m2/Building area:185.9m2/Gross Floor area: 328.00m2/Height: 9.5m
Tags: Mysterious, Secret, Monolithic, Strange,
Production Technology: Reinforced concrete structure with silver cloud stone finishes
Inspiration: This house was inspired by the song La Villa Strangiato by Rush. The house’s first design idea was to design an unfamiliar place in the typical suburban house town. The facade from the street is massive and inappropriate with the surroundings. This sudden and embarrassing form makes this house a mysterious place. We are enjoying the astonishing, which is the result of understanding diversity.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2019 and finished in October 2020. It locates in Pohang Korea
Operation Flow: Escape house works as a living platform. It is a multilayer space for everyday life. The central staircase, which connects floors in half level, is not just for moving but for sitting and chatting under the skylight. The rooftop, which is open to the woods, is the ultimate outdoor activity under the COVID-19 situation.
