OPEN HOUSE WORLDWIDE 2022
OPENHOUSE Seoul
The Open House Seoul will be presenting two themes at the Open House Worldwide 2022 event. The first is the Elements of House 2, which delves into the housing culture in Korea, where a new breed of houses is trending lately. It features two projects that offer an alternative to an apartment, the dominant housing type in Korea. The second theme is Rewritten House, featuring two remodeling projects that not only extend the residual life of old houses but attempt to reconfigure their purpose and utility altogether.

Is a good view necessary in a house? If one’s primary concern is the overall comfort a house provides, indirect lighting can be a decent substitute for a direct view to the outside. The house in Nokbeon-dong(Seoul) chose exactly that - an internal comfort in lieu of a spectacular view. Seated facing a fork in the road, the house became a member of this old bustling town by relinquishing its open yard to the community. It has a skylight which lets in a fair amount of light. A front window between the skylight and a wall helps to safeguard privacy while offering a sense of coziness at the same time. A young architects’ collective, FHHH Friends, seeks to recollect the archetypes of houses that its members grew up in and to reconstitute a fitting lifestyle by way of architecture. With the subtle and indirect form of lighting, they sought to create a mass of light within the house and create a space for true comfort.
