The project space, located in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, is a common detached house in Korea in the 1980s and has brick skin that is not used much today. You can see signs of expanding space or supplementing damaged areas, indicating that the time was spent according to the purpose and user. Sukchulmok preserves the architectural remnants of old buildings that have been added as needed and promotes aesthetic harmony in projects.
▼ Overall View Of The Building
The two-story building, 8 meters high, was divided into one floor: concrete structure and two floors: brick structure. It is not known if the building’s initial impression was due to aging or technical issues, but the concrete railings were tilted slightly, and some walls were damaged or the rainwater pipes could not function properly. To connect old and unstable functions and express them as one cohesive concept, a vertical gesture was used to connect a jagged building made of stainless steel.

A 500mm diameter cylinder was applied vertically, forming a lump as if it were organizing a building . Furthermore, gestures reinforce the functional role of structural reinforcement or cover the rainwater pipes while preserving the previous texture.

Stainless steel, discolored bricks, and redwood are used as finishing materials to match previous traces. Bricks filled during different times on the second floor are exposed to slightly different brick patterns for each production period, giving the illusion of time passing.

The first and second floors were finished with red cedar louvers, a common feature in living rooms in the 80s, and the existing concrete structure was exposed. A rough texture was used, but it also created a sophisticated feeling. This is to foster harmony and prevent an unorganized atmosphere.
