About A House in the Landscape Naturous Residence
A House in the Landscape is a detached private house built in Pangyo, Republic of Korea. The house is designed to form a balance with its irregular site rather than to stand apart from neighboring buildings. Large continuous windows frame the surrounding nature, following the traditional Korean idea of borrowing scenery. A corridor acts as a transitional space and creates a sequence of changing views. The structure is reinforced concrete. The exterior is finished with old white brick, zinc, western red cedar and broken stone. The reclaimed bricks give a calm and natural texture.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Appropriative Scenery Sequence Ancestors kept the natural scenery near them in hanok (Korean house) through the window by regarding it as the picture frame showing the live scenery of nature instead of leaving it as a simple window. The appropriative scenery in the space where they enjoyed the change of seasons by opening and closing windows and doors is about borrowing the scenery as it literally means.
- Inspiration
- Read the earth Architecture resembles the earth. It means that the architecture is compatible with the environment in harmony with the land. A design that takes into account the best flooring rate and building area for a moan site resembling a triangle looks like a ground. Fassard was born with the free exterior of architecture.It's as if, like, a variation of music, the rhythm under a free-spir The shape of the cladding that feels rhythmical harmonizes.
- Research
- We wanted to fuse landscape with architecture. It may seem as if it is a direct display of the architectural manifestation open to nature as modern architecture talks. There's a big window, so if you open it wide in the afternoon or in the summer and fall, the whole room will become a courtyard and wind, touching something deep in your mind. While there is an open feeling due to the overall continuous windowing, the way the sequence is given through the corridor, which is a transitive space, is sufficient to give a variety of empirical benefits.
- Challenge
- The atypical land close to the trapezoid was enough to give us a new creative form and a design approach. The form of architecture naturally varies along the nature of the earth, showing colorful facades. However, atypical moonshine land required workers to conduct high-level due diligence and construction methods in order to elicit precision and thus could not prevent the occurrence of invisible incidental costs. Of course, the economy for timeliness has not declined.
- Realization and Technology
- Brick House – Made with Warm and Solid Earth. The housing site in Pangyo shows strong characteristics of the planned housing complex and the sharing space unique to the housing, the yard, is not sufficiently playing its role in most of the buildings in it due to theses characteristics such as floor area ratio and land area. Another peculiar scenery of this area is that there is no harmony between the buildings as if the ‘housing exhibits’ created by architects are boasting of their own respective appearances due to the floor area ratio that exceeds half of the narrow land.
- Operation and Interaction
- It is an inspirational residential space that brings out something from within a human being in a universal experience. The nature of architecture will deepen with new experiences, with space time and light.
