| DESIGN NAME: Dolgoji PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential House INSPIRATION: In Korea, where real estate is used as a measure of asset value and apartments are the center of residential culture for a long time, it was time to find a realistic way and attitude toward life. Small houses based on narrow alleys and small lands in the city were being built one after another, and this craze made people aware of another way to own homes. Dolgoji began with fundamental questions about attitudes and ways of life, exploration of materials and construction methods for small architecture, and experiments on the impact of small architecture that makes up the city on life. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Dolgoji was a project to expand a one-story brick house built in 1968 to meet a limited budget. Privacy was secured through a small courtyard and backyard in consideration of the site conditions surrounded by villas and row houses, and a flowerbed and rest stand were created in front of the site in consideration of the relationship with the surrounding community, alleys, and neighbors. It is a house without fences and gates to suit the client's lifestyle, a house that is not partitioned by walls, easily available materials, and a warehouse-like house that considers a limited budget with prefabricated structure and concise details. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Creating the neighborhood and city where we live starts with a small architecture that contains life, scenes, and natural scenery. Finding and protecting unchanged values beyond the trends and decorations of the present era, cultivating space, and creating relationships and meanings with things hidden on the architectural background enrich the environment in which we live. The reason why small architecture is important is that it creates greater value by establishing a new relationship with the turning of time created in life. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project, located in Seoul, South Korea, was designed in 2017 and completed in 2018. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Structure: Reinforcement of the steel frame above masonry structure Exterior finish: Galvanized Steel Plate, THK28 Transparent Double Layer Glass Interior finish: Epoxy floor, Paint on gypsum board Landscape finishing: Small clad stone, FRP grating, Cement brick SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Land area 63 square meter Total floor area 66.44 square meter Building area 37.73 square meter 2 floors above ground and attic Building coverage 59.89 percent Floor area ratio 105.46 percent TAGS: low-budget, short term, direct management, low-construction, small, tin, courtyard, minimalism RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The materials and construction methods applied to this project are very simple and intuitive. The easy-to-get materials such as silver gray corrugated steel sheets, cement bricks, small clad stones, and dolgoji, which used FRP grating, hoped that it would be a natural landscape between many brick houses and villas. It was intended to reveal the physical properties of raw materials that were not processed as they were, create a form of life with minimal actions, creating a naturalness that does not stand out when gathered in one place, comfort created by time, and essential design created by simple materials and details. CHALLENGE: Dolgoji is located on a small land has difficult construction conditions due to the narrow pentagonal land and a height difference of 60cm. Due to the demolition of existing buildings and illegal expansion, review of laws and regulations due to cultural properties, and limited budget and small scale, the owner's direct management and on-site prefabricated construction methods were adopted. Due to the surrounding land situation, it is delicately related to the city through a construction method that considers easy materials and construction periods, minimizing civil complaints about privacy, dust, and noise related to basic living areas.
