About Sista House 주택

신수동은 서울의 오래된 주택이 많은 위험한 주거지역이다. 2m2 건축가는 이곳에 여성을 위한 임대주택을 짓고 싶었다. 2㎡의 건축가들은 평소 여성을 위한 주택에 대해 고민하고 문제의식을 느꼈다. 20~30대 젊은 여성을 위한 편안하고 감각적인 주거환경을 지향하는 시스타하우스는 제한된 면적 내에서 기존 다세대 주택과 차별화되도록 각 공간에 고유한 특성을 부여했습니다.

Production Technology
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 and budget. The common staircase was designed with rough exposed concrete walls and stone burner floor finishing, avoiding embellishment as much as possible and revealing the texture of the material itself.
Design Challenge
They finally got a land contract and banded together with young architects to solve the problem. The former landlord was a builder who decided to resell the land even though it had a good location with universities which is not far from subway stations. Since the width of the road bordering on the site was less than 4M, the area of 139sqm on the paper actually became 131sqm as 8sqm belonged to the road. In the end, the builder decided that it was not profitable and gave up on the land.
Research
The common staircase was designed with rough exposed concrete walls and stone burner floor finishing, avoiding embellishment as much as possible and revealing the texture of the material itself. The staircase facing the road is a common space inside the building, but on the contrary it is a private space outside the building. By adding a layer through masonry work to the curtain wall of the staircase, it is advantageous for light and ventilation while blocking anothers eyes from outside.
Inspiration
The first impression of the building's exterior looks like a red brick castle. The interior is comfortable and cozy, but on the contrary, the exterior gives a strong impression, making it a safe space.
The flat composition of households consist of a household compositions with unique characteristics such as one-room house, two-room house, house with an outside yard and house with a high ceiling, reflecting tastes of various female residents.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2019 and finished in February 2020 in Seoul, South korea.
