A House Single Family Residential

A House Single Family Residential is an innovative architectural project completed in 2017 in Yong-In, South Korea, that masterfully balances family connectivity with privacy through its distinctive A-shaped design. This Silver A' Design Award-winning residential structure, designed by architect Chang Kyu Lee, exemplifies contemporary sustainable architecture through its thoughtful integration of passive house principles and innovative spatial organization. The four-story residence, encompassing 397.71 square meters of total floor area, features a striking steel-reinforced concrete structure finished with white stucco walls and a zinc roof. The design's most notable characteristic is its triple-height interior space, where an A-shaped natural light well creates a continuous flow of illumination that connects different living areas while maintaining privacy from neighboring properties. The house incorporates advanced sustainability features, including super-insulated walls, an energy-efficient condensing boiler system for radiant heating, natural ventilation, and a rainwater collection system. The south-facing curtain wall window maximizes daylight penetration while carefully considering privacy concerns, and the interior spaces are finished with sophisticated materials including vinyl-painted gypsum boards and laminated marble flooring. The project successfully addresses complex urban regulations and site constraints while creating a harmonious living environment that celebrates family interaction through its innovative spatial arrangement and thoughtful consideration of light, sound, and visual connectivity between floors.
