MON AMOUR

ⓒJoonhwan Yoon

‘Mon Amour’, meaning ‘my love’ in French, is a gift-like space prepared by a father for his wife, an artist, and two daughters, who are music majors. It consists of a gallery, a complex space for performances/ceremonies, a restaurant, and a cafe on a flat land of about 15,000㎡.
The site was originally a pine seedling farm. The architect was inspired by the regional characteristics of Asan, where there are many lakes, and the attractive granite stone walls of its traditional houses, and created a space where detailed programs consisting of a single storey are positioned throughout the site, centered around a large water space. The long exterior entrance made along the concrete wall and stone wall is intended to allow you to slowly take in the nature of this place as you stroll. Mon Amour’s simple yet intense geometric lines contrast sharply with the organic lines of nature. Such contrast was chosen as a way of coexisting while respecting their own characteristics.
The complex consists of 4 buildings, and two by two they are located on ground with a difference of 2.3m in height. To overcome this level difference is a 45m-long external ramp that passes through the water. The viewer becomes gradually aware of the hidden space through the vertical spatial experience via the ramp between the water walls. It is a dramatic experience of recognizing the whole through changes in the field of vision, starting from a wall above eye level to seeing the water contained above that wall under their two feet. The art gallery, finished with stainless steel panels, projects the sky, water, and the surrounding landscape onto the building, diluting the presence of the geometric masses. The uneven, raw feeling of the panels make it seem united with the shape of water. Mon Amour, which stimulates the five senses, is a cultural space created by using architectural vocabulary such as open and closed spaces, walls and gaps, shapes and yards, and nature and artificiality.

조화를 꾀하는 기하학적 물성들의 어울림, 문화공간 모나무르
‘Mon Amour’는 불어로 ‘내 사랑’이라는 의미로, 미술가인 아내와 음악을 전공한 두 딸을 위해 한 가장이 마련한 선물 같은 공간이다. 15,000㎡ 가량의 평평한 대지에 갤러리와 공연예식을 위한 복합 공간, 레스토랑, 카페로 구성되어 있다.
대지는 본래 소나무 묘목을 키우던 농장이었다. 건축가는 호수가 많은 아산의 지역적 특징과 화강석 돌담이 매력적인 아산의 전통가옥에서 아이디어를 얻어 커다란 수공간을 중심으로, 단층으로 구성된 세부 프로그램들을 대지 곳곳에 배치했다. 콘크리트 벽과 돌담을 따라 만들어진 긴 진입동선은 이곳의 자연을 거닐며 천천히 느낄 수 있도록 의도된 것이다. 모나무르의 단순하면서도 강렬한 기하학적 선은 자연의 유기적인 선과 극명하게 대비된다. 이러한 대조는 각자의 성질을 유지하며 공존하는 방식을 택한 것이다.
총 4개 동으로 구성된 단지는 각각 두 개 동씩 2.3m의 높이 차이가 다른 지반에 위치한다. 그리고 이 레벨 차이를 극복하는 것은 물을 가로지르는 45m 길이의 외부램프다. 관람자는 수벽 사이의 램프를 통해 수직적인 공간체험을 하면서 서서히 숨겨진 공간에 대해 인지하게 된다. 사람 키를 훌쩍 넘는 벽에서부터 그 벽 위에 담긴 물을 두 발 아래에 두기까지 시야 속 변화를 통해 전체를 인지하는 극적인 체험을 하는 것이다. 스테인리스스틸 패널로 마감된 아트갤러리는 하늘과 물, 그리고 주변의 경관을 건물에 투영시켜서 기하학적인 매스가 가진 존재감을 희석한다. 울룩불룩한 날 것의 느낌은 물의 형상과 일체화되는 것처럼 느껴진다. 이렇게 오감을 자극하는 모나무르는 열린 공간과 닫혀있는 공간, 벽과 틈새, 형태와 마당, 자연과 인공 등의 건축적 어휘들을 교차적으로 사용하며 만들어진 문화 공간이다.
