About Ro54 단독주택

RO54는 로스앤젤레스의 경사지 대지에 지어진 단독주택이다. 이 주택은 중앙의 보이드를 중심으로 엇갈리게 배치된 바닥판을 활용한 스플릿 레벨 구성을 취한다. 중앙을 가로지르는 브리지형 계단은 가장 깊숙한 층까지 햇빛과 시각적 연결을 끌어들여 공간 사이의 물리적·심리적 거리를 줄인다. 외피는 디지털 설계를 바탕으로 CNC 가공되었으며, 자동차의 유선형 형태를 따른다. 2층에 마련된 16피트 길이의 캔틸레버는 현관 캐노피 역할을 한다. 개방형 평면은 가구를 자유롭게 재배치할 수 있도록 한다.

Design Challenge
How can we minimize the physical and psychological distances between different chambers in a residential assemblage? Most homes are constructed with rooms arranged in either horizontal or vertical layouts, which often lead to partitioning and separation due to privacy or functional requirements. Walls, doors, and other barriers typically divide these spaces.
Research
Our aim for tackling this stoic problem was to reduce the time (Δt) required to access other spaces in the program, physically or psychologically. We looked at the problem on a horizontal plane (xy axis), where we aimed to dissolve all unnecessary divisions. This meant direct visual connection from one space to most other spaces in the house, which shortened the time of accessing information in other parts of the house, therefore reducing its psychological distances.
Inspiration
The design vocabulary was informed by streamline automotive aesthetics, proposing every technology in the house to have exponent performance discreetly, allowing the architectural space to deliver a sensory performance.

Operation Flow
The project itself provided for an inclusive engagement with its surrounding space by means of large open spaces and utilization of the ideals of transparency for honest integration into its surrounding community. There is little to hide and what belongs to the house belongs to the neighborhood and conversely, what belongs to the neighborhood is brought into the house. The architecture in turn demands a change of attitude from its occupants towards the community, to be open and to be known.
