在一个开放的场地上的单身 – 内谷洞房屋（N House）是属于首尔土地房屋公司（SH）开发的公共住房区的少数独户房屋用地之一。该地块可俯瞰一个大型公寓区，通往村庄的道路和通往大型公寓区入口的道路在此交汇，对于一个城市背景下的独栋别墅来说，该地块过于公共。在这种场地条件下，确保独栋别墅的单一性成为这个项目的关键出发点。

Singleness in an open site – Naegok-dong House (N House) is one of the few single-family housing sites that belong to public housing district developed by SEOUL LAND & HOUSING CORPORATION (SH). The site overlooking a large-scale apartment complex, where the road to the village and the road leading to the entrance of the large-scale apartment complex meet, is too public for a single-family house to be located in an urban context. Securing the singleness of a single-family home under these site conditions became a critical starting point for this project.

单户住宅的院子与外界有最直接的接触。在这个项目中，院子位于场地的中心，使房子从外面受到的干扰最小，并被内部空间所包围。因此，房子的内部和城市的外部是分开的。城市的北面是用黑砖封闭的，从而为城市增加了另一种背景。简单的体量的形式和饰面随着周围建筑的流动而被水平分割，不会给城市带来任何视觉上的断裂。

A yard of a single-family house has the most direct contact with the outside. In this project, the yard is located in the site’s center, making the house the least interfered from the outside and surrounded by the inner space. Therefore, the interior of the house and the exterior of the city are separated. The city’s north side is closed with achromatic black bricks, thereby adding another background to the town. The simple massed of form and finish are horizontally segmented along with the flow of surrounding buildings not to give any visual disconnection in the city.

一组包含行动的空间–N屋的家庭希望建造 “最后的房子”，以度过大量的时间并分享他们的生活。家庭活动与在家的时间成比例增加。在现有的房子里，划分为必要功能的空间布局，如客厅、卧室和厨房，被细分为所有家庭成员使用的功能空间和考虑每个成员品味的行动导向空间。即使在房子的内部，即私人区域，空间的特征也涵盖了从最公共的客人空间到考虑每个家庭成员品味的地方。

A set of spaces containing actions – The family in N House wanted to build the “last house” to spend a lot of time and share their lives. Home activities increase in proportion to the amount of time spent at home. In the existing house, the spatial layout divided into necessary functions such as the living room, bedroom, and the kitchen is subdivided into a functional space used by all family members and an action-oriented space considering each member’s taste. Even in the inside of the house, namely a private area, the character of the space covers from the most public space for guests to the place that considers each family member’s taste.

由于以行动为导向的空间规划在每个空间的可用性方面没有优势，所以应该统一提供照明和通风等物理环境。所以所有的私人活动都是围绕院子垂直布置的，以获得适当的光线和风通过空间。南侧的大窗户作为照明的装置和连接空间和城市垂直独栋住宅的另一个空间的媒介，应该在垂直方向上进行分隔。

Since action-oriented space planning has no advantage in the usability of each space, physical environment such as lighting and ventilation should be provided uniformly. So all private activities are arranged vertically around the courtyard to get proper light and wind through spaces. The large window on the south side serves as a device for lighting and a medium connecting space and another space of an urban vertical single-family house that should be separated vertically.

开合的深度和密度–封闭的面有选择地以不同的深度和密度打开。北墙有不同的厚度，以根据内部使用情况改变窗户的深度。包含松树林的起居室的窗户开得最深、最广。私人区域的大窗户主动让光线进入，对深度的理解很浅。连接各层的楼梯的形状可以根据上下楼梯的方向逐渐打开和关闭。这种砖块的叠加使得立面在里面是宽阔的，可以接受光线，同时在外面又是封闭的，避免了人们的凝视。

Depth and density of opening and closing – The closed faces are selectively opened with varying depth and density. The north wall has different thicknesses to vary the depth of windows depending on the internal use. The window of the living room containing the pine forest opens to the deepest and most expansive. A large window in a private area actively allows light with a shallow understanding of depth The shape of the stairs connecting each floor could gradually open and close according to the direction of going up and down the stairs. This brick stacking makes the elevation where it is wide open inside to receive light and at the same time, it is closed outside to avoid the gaze.
