IROJE KHM Architects finished the ‘Hye Ro Hun House’ in Korea. The site is located inbetween the city and the surrounding mountains. The front side opens the view to the urban landscape of downtown Gwangju, while the rear of the house is oriented towards the mountains.
By opening the transparent gate door, you access the house, walking over a long gangplank that looks like an architectural canyon. Two wooden boxes give the impression of a massive sculpture in the landscape. One structure contains living room and dining room, while the other box contains master bed and study room and another box in the structure conists of two bedrooms and study rooms for two daughters. The architects created a dynamic space over the living room. In 9m height, a double master bedroom with bamboo garden is floating. Through the top light of the roof, moving sunlight varies the atmosphere of the living room all day long. Horizontal and vertical ways indoors or outdoors cross each other continously and create a unique atmosphere in this various space.

Prior to working with a screen door supplier, I have been interested in architectural and interior design, and ignant.de website is such a great resource to learn about the various architectural designs all over the world. I like this one in particular that is situated in Korea. It incorporates the environment with the living space, and capitalizes on it especially the landscape of the mountains, which could provide a beautiful backdrop on the glass windows and doors. I would not mind living in such a space, if I only have the luxury of it. I have seen a similar design of a house in Norway, which exemplifies the classic Nordic design – classic, clean and sleek, yet very functional.
