Walden House
When a day has spring feeling and wet after raining in Muchang-ri, we met a late 40’s dink couple on a wide and warm site which has cozy atmosphere with moderate mountain. They were dreaming a rural life depart from city life that quiet and can enjoy composure while even small space. They had honest wishes such as tending vegetable garden on aside of courtyard and drinking husband made elaborate drip coffee under the eaves.

“We want to stare each other in everywhere at home” “Pardon me"”  The couple had a special requirement from initial stage of planning, that was ‘Desire staring each other in everywhere at home’. I thought that was unusual because I understood their prerequisite as a means for surveillance each other. However, as time goes by listening their story, they got used to spending time together every time as dink couple. Then, I got to know that they wanted spatial structure reflecting their life pattern. I was hooked again that I need to plan house delicately and meticulously than other kind of building because house reflects life of people who live in as it is. It was intended that house has smooth-flowing circulation without sharp corner on any space and is filled with warmth of sunlight which fills up courtyard. I started to fill an image with space is pierced couple’s murmuring sound faintly in everywhere of house.
