House in Akashi

House in Akashi is a minimalist house designed to immerse one with nature. The house is divided into three zones, based on purpose and privacy, each with a garden and different concept. The first courtyard has a Japanese-style room for family, and a yard with kitchen garden. The second is a semi-public living dining space and a yard for viewing. Finally, bedrooms and the dry area provide for privacy and laundry. Through the courtyards, the plants, soil, wind and sky are always in view allowing nature into the house, blurring the lines between inside and outside.

Lacking amenities for a cultural experience, Seoul City called for a design competition of an art museum within the Seokchon Lake Park located south of Han River. The proposal is a winning scheme under development; construction is expected to be completed by early 2022. The design aims to provide a visual mark as an entry into the park. The newly introduced interpolating gallery passage connects the discontinuous outer and inner ring path, bisecting the site for a new "gateway" to the park. The new gallery will provide visitors and passersby the experience of art in their everyday lives.

The Fifth Element

The house consists of five parallel rectangles. Garage and Spa blocks are displaced to the living volume. They protect it from prying eyes and form a compact field for the entrance and recreation areas, resp. Spa hangs on the console above the ground and is opened to nature by its glazing. The facades facing the forest feature full-size windows that fill the living spaces with light and air. Water installation of the terrace creates a microclimate in the summer heat. The two-storied tower of living room forms vertical axis, which subordinates all the elements of the building and landscape.

Electricity Substation

Imatra GIS

The project is composed of an electricity substation building and five designer powerline structures, set in the national landscape of Imatrankoski rapids in Eastern Finland. Balance with the surrounding landscape has been the foremost goal of the design. The substation is a plain concrete structure clad over with a double-skin of hand-made long bricks laid in a zig-zag profile. The triangular motif of the brick cladding is repeated in the steel profiles of the new powerline structures. The design breaks apart aspects of the built context and reassembles them in a new abstracted form.

Overall delivers a complete design of fulfilled natural belongings.
