Seroro House

The microhouse is called as Seroro which means vertically as the house is built vertically, rooms stacked vertically and its residents live in vertically. Seroro is located at the heart of Seoul where the price of land is excruciatingly high.

However, as people thought that the land was too small to construct anything and the site had been abandoned for some time, the price of land for the site had become reasonable.

So, a young couple, an architect husband and a wine educator wife, made a brave decision to build their first house.

The house is designed by stacking rooms vertically and planning a room each floor: a parking lot on the ground floor, a living room with a rest room on the 1st floor, a kitchen with dining area on the 2nd floor, a bed room with the second rest room on the 3rd floor, and a dressing room with a bath tub on the 4th floor.

The size of each floor is 16 square meter. Each room has been placed considering the flow of daily life and lifestyle of the couple.

The surroundings of the house has a significant impact on the shape and design of the building.

Most of the windows of the building are faced in southward and westward directions, as for the natural lighting and the park view, respectively.

It is unfamiliar, strange, and experimental to live in a vertical house. But, once settled in, it turned out to be as comfortable as any other house.

Recently a cat joined as a newly joined family member, once a street cat wandering the house, now dubbed as Conti from the Roman Conti of the most prestigious wine. The house, hence, has become the biggest cat tower in the world.
