这座房子位于创新城的一个斜坡拐角处,它正望着东北方向的一座远山。该地块位于一个混合用途住房区和一个普通派遣住房区的交汇处。为了利用现有的坡度,1楼的零售区楼层从其拐角处以对角线方向一分为二,这两层的楼层设置不同,以最大限度地提高空间灵活性。对于3楼的房子,其通道、入口和客厅的设计是为了提供东北方向的山景。客厅被放置在一个空间上,其体量被分割成两个方向,这样它就可以与外面的露台相连,也可以一直利用自然通风。

The house is located on a sloped corner site in the Innovation City, and it’s looking at a distant mountain in the northeast. The site is sitting at an intersection of a mixed-use housing block and a general dispatched housing block. To use the existing slope, the floor of the retail area on the 1st floor is divided from its corner into two in a diagonal direction, and the level of those two floors are set differently in order to maximize spatial flexibility. For the house on the 3rd floor, its access, entrance and living room are designed to offer a view to the mountain in the northeast. The living room is placed on a space where the mass is segmented in two directions so that it can be linked with a deck outside and also take advantage of natural ventilation all the time.

我们正生活在单身家庭的时代。然而在蔚山,为他们提供的像样的住房非常稀缺。在这种情况下,对于那些住在租来的房子里的人,建筑师想创造一个高质量的空间。由于单室或双室住房根本不提供任何独立或私人空间,他想给居民提供一个独立的通道和隐私感,同时通过在角落里建立一个中央循环来提出一个公共空间。对于位于三楼的业主住宅,他试图将业主最看重的厨房放在一个最体面的地方,同时引入一个可以从客厅、厨房和卧室进入的户外空间。

We are living in the era of single households. Yet in Ulsan, decent housings for them are very scarce. For the people who are living in a rented house under the circumstances, the architect wanted to create a quality space. And as single-room or two-room housings don°Øt provide any independent or private space at all, he wanted to give a separate access and a sense of privacy to the residents while proposing a communal space by using a central circulation established on the corner. For the residence of the owner on the 3rd floor, he attempted to place a kitchen, the owner’s most valued element, in a most decent area, and also to introduce an outdoor space which can be accessed from the living room, kitchen and bedroom.

这个项目的本质是实验性的和非常规的循环系统。在这个拐角处画一条对角线的直梯,对于一般混合用途住房的业主来说是一个不可接受的概念,因为他们认为这会影响1楼和2楼的租赁收入。然而,考虑到该地块与一个分散的住房(2层)相连的性质,建筑师认为将1楼的零售区分成两个独立的租赁空间会更好。由于场地两边都是街道,将整个零售区作为一个空间使用是没有问题的。通过这个楼梯进入3楼时,人们总是面对着远处的山和调度房区后面的近处的风景。室外的楼梯为每个单元提供了一个通道,最后变成了他们的户外露台。在这个过程中,空间经历了收缩和扩张的交替,最终激发了建筑的兴奋。

The essence of this project is the experimental and unconventional circulation system. The straight stairs which draws a diagonal line across this corner site is an unacceptable concept for general owners of mixed-use housing because they think it will affect the lease income of the 1st and 2nd floors. However, considering the nature of the site connected with a dispatched housing (2-storey) block, the architect thought it would be better to split the retail area on the 1st floor into two independent leasing spaces. And as the site is touching the streets on both sides, there would be no problem to use the entire retail area as one space. On entering the 3rd floor via this stairs, one always comes to face a scenery of distant mountains and the close one behind the dispatched housing block. The outdoor stairs provide an access to each unit, and in the end, turn out to be an outdoor terrace for them. During this process, space comes to experience contraction and expansion alternatively and ends up stimulating an architectural excitement.

预算紧张是这个项目的最大挑战。业主不允许超出预算,而建筑师则必须非常谨慎地使用预算。就像所有的业主一样,业主很自然地希望在一定的预算内得到更好、更多的东西。因此,要引导被这种想法所迷惑的业主,通过选择和集中,按照预算来确定优先次序,是非常困难的。但是,在这个过程中,业主同意建筑师的建议,为了创造一个好的空间,要把基本元素放在首位,同时他也全力支持建筑师提出的想法。

The tight budget was the biggest challenge of this project. The owner couldn’t allow going over the budget, and the architect had to use it very meticulously. As all owners do, it was natural for the owner to desire better and more things within a given budget. So it was very difficult to lead the owner who is possessed by such an idea and set priorities through choice and concentration in accordance with the budget. But during that process, the owner agreed with the architect suggesting to give a top priority to essential elements in order to create a good space, and also he gave full support to ideas proposed by the architect.
