DESIGN NAME: Escape
PRIMARY FUNCTION: House
INSPIRATION: This house was inspired by the song La Villa Strangiato by Rush. The house’s first design idea was to design an unfamiliar place in the typical suburban house town. The facade from the street is massive and inappropriate with the surroundings. This sudden and embarrassing form makes this house a mysterious place. We are enjoying the astonishing, which is the result of understanding diversity.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Our intention of the design is to make an unusual and unexpected concrete house in the typical town. The meaning of the E-scape house is ambiguous. ‘E’ means different. The house makes different scenery in the city, and residents can experience various views from the inside of the house, such as a panoramic view from the living room. Home is our final destination of escaping from ordinary daily life.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Escape house works as a living platform. It is a multilayer space for everyday life. The central staircase, which connects floors in half level, is not just for moving but for sitting and chatting under the skylight. The rooftop, which is open to the woods, is the ultimate outdoor activity under the COVID-19 situation.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in March 2019 and finished in October 2020. It locates in Pohang Korea
