About Sista House Pabahay

Ang Sinsu-dong ay isang mapanganib na residential area na may maraming lumang bahay sa Seoul. 2m2 architects gustong magtayo ng paupahang bahay dito para sa mga babae.

Ang Sista House, na naglalayong magkaroon ng komportable at madamdaming kapaligiran sa pamumuhay para sa mga kabataang babae sa kanilang 20s at 30s, ay nagbigay sa bawat puwang ng sarili nitong katangian upang maiba ang sarili nito mula sa umiiral na maraming pabahay sa loob ng limitadong lugar nito.

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.
