"The house is positioned between a cultivated foreground and a wooded slope, reflecting a shift in pace where gardening and seasonal change guide the spatial experience."
"The continuous concrete base follows the slope of the land, grounding the building through its weight and scale, while deep overhangs create shaded exterior zones."
"Two timber-clad volumes rise above the concrete plinth, each with distinct orientations that introduce variation in view and light, establishing a dialogue between outward views and the surrounding landscape."
The Shin-Dae-Ri House in Hoengseong, South Korea, designed by BRBB Architects, serves as a transition from village to mountain life for an elderly couple. Positioned between fields and forests, the house features a continuous concrete base that integrates with the terrain. Two timber gabled volumes above the base are oriented to enhance views and light. The design emphasizes outdoor spaces, including a garden and courtyard, fostering a connection with nature and seasonal changes.
