The light container | Younghan Chung Architects

Harmonizing with the surrounding alien context, the partition wall was built as an apparatus to preserve light, as well as one to react. Not only as part of the structural body, but also as part of the reflective body, the partition displays textures in accordance with time and seasons. Due to a desire to break loose from the structure, the partition wall which can be seen outside, hangs insecurely though propped by beams, the structural body. This desire is easily captured through the details on the stairs that are commonly adopted in daily life. The protruding window, exposed concrete walls facing the road, and the bedroom on the second floor, which were planned to secure residential privacy are finished with weather- resistant materials. The bridge leading to the master bedroom from the living room was designed with translucent glass blocks which fill the empty space between the partition walls.
