Seongbukdong Residences - Seoul

Um belo exemplar de condomínio Horizontal, que valorizou os espaços internos e também os externos, cujos não são bem valorizados pelo RS, mas de vital importancia nas residências.
Joel Sanders Architect, in collaboration with Haeahn Architecture, designed 12 sustainable houses in the exclusive Seongbukdong district of Seoul.Project description:Taking advantage of its steeply sloping site, the project weaves together building and landscape, natural and synthetic materials, and indoor and outdoor spaces.Our design approach staggers the dwellings so that each unit enjoys unobstructed views of a wooded valley, framed in the foreground by its neighbor’s planted green roof. Each roof is planted with various species of sedum that bloom at different times of the year, resulting in patterns that merge to form a single, iconic composition that reflect the change in seasons.The units are organized around two terraces which extend living areas out of doors and visually link each dwelling with the landscape beyond through the use of materials and panoramic views that blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors.
