The Design

About Slope House Bostad

Slope House är en tvåvånings bostad belägen på en svag sluttning i staden Wonju, Sydkorea. Det centrala designkonceptet är en sluttande yta som fungerar både som tak och fasad. Taket ger ett starkt visuellt intryck och för tankarna till sluttningen på berget Kam-Ak nära platsen. En terrass är inskuren i taket och vänder sig mot det östliga berget, vilket erbjuder vidsträckta vyer året runt. Zinkpaneler täcker taket och står emot kraftiga snöfall, medan ljusgrått tegel utgör väggarna. Cortenstål förenar de två materialen. Den totala bruttoarean är 187 kvadratmeter.

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.

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.
