客户想在一个以平泽湖为背景，长满潘帕斯草的风景优美的地方，为他的家人建造一座房子，一个书店和一个宾馆，作为城市孩子的精神庇护所。似乎这位曾经经营过补习班的客户，对自己把年轻人推向战场的方式感到厌恶，总觉得自己已经疲惫不堪。通过和孩子们一起看书，他得到了安慰和回报，决定和我们一起实现他的梦想，结束竞争激烈的城市生活，从事更有意义的事情，健康地生活。
The client wanted to build a house for his family, a bookstore and a guesthouse as a spiritual shelter for the urban kids on a scenic site with Pyeongtaek Lake, as the background, filled with Pampas grass. It seemed like the client who used to run a cram school, felt disgusted with the way he was pushing the young people to the battlefield and always thought that he was getting worn out. Consoled and rewarded by reading books with kids, he decided to realize his dream with us to wrap up the competitive urban life, work on more meaningful things and live healthy.
由于决定在一个地方有一个生活和工作的地方，有必要澄清房子和书店的关系和特点。书店的传统功能是卖书，但我们决定把重点放在促进一个合适的环境，为孩子们阅读和与孩子们一起阅读，客户认为这更有意义。在设计书店旁边的房子方面，重要的是要确保家庭的日常生活不会被书店的访客所干扰。
With the decision to have a place of living and a place of work in one site, it was necessary to clarify the relationship and the characteristics of the house and the bookstore. The conventional function of the bookstore is to sell books but we decided to focus on promoting an appropriate environment reading books for and with kids, which, the client felt, was more meaningful. In terms of designing the house next to the bookstore, it was important to ensure that the daily life of the family would not be interrupted by the visitors to the bookstore.
因此，房子和书店被布置在有足够距离的位置上，使它们能够起到相互补充的作用。我们将房子和书店的方向定位为积极面对湖水，这是一个强大的自然元素，而房子被布置在场地的后面，以尽量减少从书店看向房子的视线。这两座带有木质结构的独立建筑有着明显不同的形式。书店采用了坡屋顶和白色金属板，是房屋的典型特征。另一方面，由于规则的窗户排列和突出的墙壁，房子让人联想到装满书籍的书架。房屋的木质装饰在两座建筑之间形成了明显的对比。
Therefore, the house and the bookstore were laid out in positions with just enough distance that they could serve as complementary to each other. We oriented the house and the bookstore in a direction to actively face the lake, a powerful natural element, and the house was laid out in the back of the site to minimize the view towards the house from the bookstore. The two individual buildings with wood structures have clearly different forms. The bookstore is finished with the gabled roof and white metal sheets, archetypes of a house. The house, on the other hand, is reminiscent of bookshelves filled with books due to regular window arrangements and protruding walls. The wood finish of the house creates a clear contrast between the two buildings.
书店类似于房子的设计意图是为成人或儿童游客提供像家一样的舒适感，并在内部设置不同高度的楼层。此外，另一个方面是为了创造一种从房子里看书店时，看到房子的反射图像的感觉。从天花板延伸到墙壁的窗户在长长的屋檐下创造了开口，并积极地与外部联系起来。室内的胶合板饰面意在通过与外部环境的自然联系来掩盖内部和外部的区别。我们期望孩子们能在不区分内部和外部的情况下跑来跑去，看书。
The design intent of the bookstore resembling a house is to provide adult or children visitors comfort like a home and to have floors with various heights inside. Furthermore, another aspect was to create a feeling of looking at a reflected image of the house when looking at the bookstore from the house. The windows that extend from the ceiling to the walls create openings in the long gabled mass and actively relate to the outside. The interior plywood finish intends to obscure the distinction between the inside and the outside by naturally connecting with the external environment. We expected the kids to run around and read books without distinguishing the inside and the outside.
通过房子有规律的排列的窗户，一家人从房子的各个地方分享湖泊和湿地的季节性的各种景象。观察到书店重叠在风景中，我们期望房子让人想起一个村庄，而不是一个单独的房子。
Through the regularly arranged windows of the house, the family shares the seasonally various scenes of the lake and the wetland from everywhere in the house. Observing the bookstore overlapped in the scenery, we expected that the house reminds one of a village, not a house standing alone.
