About Escape 住宅

逃逸之屋（Escape House）是一座矗立于普通小镇之中、独特而出人意料的混凝土住宅。"Escape House"的含义具有多重意蕴：临街一侧呈现整体一体、封闭的形态，而朝向树林的一面则完全敞开。"E"意味着"不同"。这座住宅为小镇塑造出别样的景致，而错层（skip floor）结构则营造出丰富多变的空间体验与戏剧性的视野，例如从起居室远眺的全景林景。逃逸之屋，正是我们逃离平凡日常生活的最终归处。

Unique Properties: Our intention of the design is to make an unusual and unexpected concrete house in the typical town. The meaning of the E-scape house is ambiguous. ‘E’ means different. The house makes different scenery in the city, and residents can experience various views from the inside of the house, such as a panoramic view from the living room. Home is our final destination of escaping from ordinary daily life.
Dimensions & Packaging: Site area: 225.60m2/Building area:185.9m2/Gross Floor area: 328.00m2/Height: 9.5m
Tags: Mysterious, Secret, Monolithic, Strange,
Production Technology: Reinforced concrete structure with silver cloud stone finishes
Inspiration: This house was inspired by the song La Villa Strangiato by Rush. The house’s first design idea was to design an unfamiliar place in the typical suburban house town. The facade from the street is massive and inappropriate with the surroundings. This sudden and embarrassing form makes this house a mysterious place. We are enjoying the astonishing, which is the result of understanding diversity.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2019 and finished in October 2020. It locates in Pohang Korea
Operation Flow: Escape house works as a living platform. It is a multilayer space for everyday life. The central staircase, which connects floors in half level, is not just for moving but for sitting and chatting under the skylight. The rooftop, which is open to the woods, is the ultimate outdoor activity under the COVID-19 situation.
