The house was planned to associate with the couple client in their 50s who have a grown-up kid and become friendly. Also, the house provides a privacy, communicates with the outdoor space and brings the light deep into the house.

On the site where three sides of the land are surrounded by adjacent houses, the house was arranged with the ‘L’-shape making the garden open toward the southeast side where the buffer green zone exists.

At the rear garden resulting from the plan of securing a parking lot space, the moving path to the living room and the kitchen was planned. Also, a Toenmaru(recessed Korean Maru) where rain is blocked provides a additional function of the rear garden.

The exterior terrace in the second floor was made the inside to be open toward the outside without neighbor’s eyes by letting it deep into the corridor.

The attic created by utilizing the high height of the ceiling according to the ordinance of sloping roof application is the workroom of the son whose major is the art.
