Architect Moon Hoon has created this visual masterpiece, a far cry from the original design concept, in South Korea.
South Korea’s Jeju Island is home to this architectural wonder designed by Seoul-based architect Moon Hoon. The architect’s original concept was a low-lying structure with an atrium rising through the centre, but the client had a change of mind wishing for a more ‘showy’ and ‘extravagant’ imposing design. The architect’s new design is quite the antithesis of the first concept.
The three-storey home is made up of a stack of concrete boxes set on angles, each with a verandah overlooking the natural basalt-filled landscape. To secure these disparate angles, and to add visual zing to the design, a web of angled support structures was installed, which also express the landscape and strong winds common to the island.
The theatrical three-storey home is located on South Korea’s Jeju Island
Inside, a central stairwell connects each level of the house. The master bedroom is located on the top floor which leads out to a terrace with a hot tub. The middle floor is the living space with a kitchen, lounge and exterior dining area, and the ground floor has another bedroom, a playroom laundry and storage. The house also has an outdoor entertaining roof deck.
