The project is located on a gentle slope of a mountainous topography in Wonju city, South Korea. Main design concept for this house is to compose a sloped surface that doubles as a roof and a facade. The roof is not only an apparatus that gives strong visual impact to residents and visitors, but also a metaphor of the slope of the Kam-Ak mountain at the site. Also the sculpted out terrace on the roof, which is facing toward the eastern mountain, provides spectacular views throughout an year with varying sceneries.
