DONG-BAEK HOUSE

In Korea’s contemporary architecture, the ‘formation of relationships’ between the interior and exterior is considered important since the context of the exterior is analyzed and applied to the interior.

As a result, the text of the architecture is rather inevitably directed inward in the new construction of lands that lack context.

Mostly, projects in urban areas, where it is full of various contexts and so difficult to accept any one of them, or projects in suburban areas, where both the natural environment and urban functional rerequisites are vague, try to fill the interior with spatial elements through courtyards or atriums.

The Dongbaek-dong Commercial Residential Building new construction project is a project that doesn’t deviate from that category, however, the fact that it obtained a unique structure, where the  ulti-family housings of the upper floors gain a structure similar to that of split-level studio apartments while sharing the house’s front entrance lobby and roof garden, is different.

In particular, the entrance lobby has a form that is open to the south and north. At the north side, there was no landscape since a steep hill is directly  located on the other side of the narrow road, and at the south side, there is a landscape far away, the end of the landscape is obstructed with apartment complexes.

Therefore, only lighting was borrowed from the north side, and from the south, the lacking landscape was borrowed but it was aimed to be drawn deeply to the  interior as much as possible.

As a result, at the north side, lighting was provided to the interior and individuality was given to the exterior through the pattern of bricks, and the front door was pulled to the north side as much as possible so that the residents, when they enter and exit, do not plainly see the southern scenery but observe it along with the building’s frame.

동백동 상가주택

한국의 현대 건축에서는 외부의 컨텍스트를 분석하고 내부에 적용시켜 내, 외부간의 ‘관계 맺음’을 중요하게 여긴다. 그러다 보니 오히려 컨텍스트가 부족한 대지의 신축에서 건축의 텍스트는 아무래도 내부를 향하게 된다.

각종 컨텍스트가 난립하여 무엇 하나 받아들이기 힘든 도심지의 프로젝트나 자연환경과 도시기능적 요건, 그 무엇도 애매 한 교외지역의 프로젝트 같은 경우에 대부분 중정이나 아트리움 등을 통해 내부에 공간적 요소를 채운다.

동백동 상가주택 신축 프로젝트도 그 범주에서 크게 벗어나지는 않는 프로젝트이지만, 상층부의 다가구 주택이 복층 오피스텔과 비슷한 구조를 가지면서 주택 현관로비와 옥상정원을 공유하는 특이한 구조를 갖는다.

특히 현관 로비는 남과 북으로 열린 형태인데, 북측으로는 좁은 도로 너머에 바로 가파른 언덕이 있기 때문에 딱히 풍경이라고 할 것이 없었고, 남측으로는 멀리 풍경이 있긴 하지만 풍경의 끝에 아파트가 가로막고 있었다.

그래서 북측에서는 채광만 빌려오고, 남측에서는 없는 풍경이나마 빌려오되 가능한 내부 깊숙이 끌어오고자 했다.

그 결과 북측 면으로는 벽돌의 패턴을 통해 내부에는 채광을 외부에는 개성을 부여하였고, 현관문을 최대한 북측으로 당겨서 거주자가 드나들 때 남측의 풍경을 바로 보지 않고 건물의 프레임과 함께 관망할 수 있도록 했다.
