“五层楼的房子 “是在韩国首尔一个高度密集的城市中，在一个小场地上垂直堆叠的单户住宅。在不到100平方米的房产面积上，按照规定的后退和停车条例，这个高而瘦的房子创造了具有不同楼层分区的 “垂直生活”。在韩国，房地产是最有效的投资工具之一，购买公寓是增加资产的常见方式。 在首尔，居住在一个有客厅、厨房、餐厅和卧室的公寓里是典型的居住环境。考虑到公寓通过重建的经济价值和生活基础设施的熟悉程度，垂直叠加的小面积房屋是这种文化中具有挑战性的住宅类型。在狭小的场地上进行复杂的施工，增加室内和室外围护结构的面积，以及在密集的城市结构中邻居们的抱怨，都是开发这种垂直住宅的缺点。然而，最近这种垂直住宅在80/90年代在公寓中长大的人中受到关注，他们在不同的空间质量中寻找自己的生活价值，而这些空间质量在公寓中无法实现。
‘Five story house’ is the vertically stacked result of a single- family house on a small site in highly dense city, Seoul, Korea. In less than 100m2 property area with required setbacks and parking regulation, this tall and skinny house creates ‘vertical living’ with different floor zonings. In Korea where the real estate is one of the most effective investment tools, purchasing a flat is the common way to increase ones assets. Living in a flat with living room, kitchen, dining and bedrooms in a single floor, is typical residential environment in Seoul. Considering economic value of flats through redevelopment and the familiarity of living infrastructure, a vertically stacked house with small floor area is a provocative residential type in this culture. The additional cost based on complicated construction on small site, increased area of interior & exterior envelop and neighbors’ complaints within dense urban fabric are downsides of the developing this type of vertical house. Nonetheless, recently this vertical house is at the fore among the people who had grown up at the flats in 80s/ 90s and look for their living values in diverse spatial qualities which cannot be achieved from the flats.
该项目建议在一个单一家庭的房子里收集垂直生活，而不仅仅是投资价值。这个房子是为五个家庭成员准备的；丈夫、妻子和三个孩子。它有一个工作室，供丈夫的爱好–家具制作，还有一个供10岁、8岁和6岁女孩玩耍的多功能室。在由后退和停车规定形成的最大体积内，所需的项目被布置在垂直分区中。三个女孩的多人游戏室位于一楼，有一个扩大的北面平台，供她们在学校和课后活动之间共同度过。家具制作工作室位于南街一侧，与停车场相邻，这样可以方便丈夫经常进出和通勤。家庭聚会的空间，如客厅、厨房和餐厅都在二楼。主卧室和最小的女孩的房间在三楼，有迷你图书馆/壁橱。大女儿的房间在五楼，视野开阔，四楼是第二个聚会空间，有露台，一个卧室和一个洗澡间。瘦小的窗户既能采光，又能避免与相邻的建筑物发生冲突，而不是大而宽的开口，以获取视野。除南面外，大部分的开口都使用了砖砌屏风。
The project proposes to collect vertical lives in a single family house beyond the just investment value. The house is for five family members; husband, wife and three kids. It has a studio for husband’s hobby, furniture making, and a multi-play room for 10, 8, and 6 years-old girls. Within the maximized volume formed by the regulations of setbacks and the parking, required programs are laid out in vertical zonings. The multi-room for three girls is located in first floor with the expanded north deck for them to spend time together between school and after-school-activities. The furniture making studio is placed at the south street side, adjacent to parking so that makes the husband easy to frequent in & out and commutes. The space for family gathering such as living room, kitchen, and dining is on the second floor. A master bedroom and the youngest girl’s room are on the third floor with mini library/ closet. The oldest girl’s room is on the fifth floor with great view, and the fourth floor works as second gathering space with terrace, a bed room and a bath room. Instead of big and wide openings for view, skinny windows are placed for both lighting and privacy from the adjacent buildings. The brick screen applied on most of openings except South.
超过9米的阶梯式体量符合日光退让的规定，而悬臂式的停车场则成为该市住宅区的典型建筑形状。这座五层楼的房子在定义建筑的主要元素上通过 “弧线 “寻求小的调整。从停车场的悬臂开始的 “弧线”，四楼的倾斜墙面扩展到入口处，以及立面的开口，揭示了其垂直单户住宅的身份，表达了其独特的外观。
The stepped mass over 9 meters by the daylight setback regulation and the cantilever over the parking becomes a typical building shape in residential zoning area in this city. The five-story house seeks small tweaks by ‘arcing’ on major elements that define the building. The ‘arc’ from the cantilever at the parking, the sloped wall at 4th floor expanded to an entry and the openings on elevations, reveal its identity of the vertical single-family house and express its unique appearance.
