In the heart of Seoul, a small monolith with a finely chiseled dark concrete surface subtly disrupts the rhythm of the street façade in a district of townhouses and villas. The architecture of this building, Pyrite—a private residence with ancillary spaces—owes its unusual appeal to a design strategy that emphasizes the massing of interlocking forms, generated through the twisting of the upper volume to capture different views, set much like the cuboid formation of its crystal namesake. Sun Namgoong Sun Namgoong Split vertically into two, the architecture of the building reserves its larger section for its owner and his family, serving as a personal residence and home office accessed through a private elevator...

DESCRIPTION  The Light house is a project that resonated with our ideals of tropical architecture in Singapore. With the warm local tropical climate, we believe homes could be made more comfortable and liveable if we could maximise natural light and ventilation into the house. The east-west orientation of this house makes it more critical for good ventilation to prevail.  Marcus L Marcus L Due to west-facing front façade, there was also the challenge of preventing the penetration of the harsh western sun into the house. As a reconstruction project, the other challenge was to re-evaluate the internal spaces to cater for the family of four, while retaining the existing structural elements. Marcus L Marcus... Más
