House 1949 / Narrative Architects

This house was originally built in 1949, just before the outbreak of the Korean War, and has since undergone several partial extensions and makeshift repairs, shaping it into its current form. The construction year was confirmed through an inscription on the ridge beam, and the structure—where even a span of less than three meters was bridged by piecing together door frames instead of using intact timber—reveals the architectural realities of Seoul at the time.

House for Two / Tenhachi Architect & Interior Design

A home for a couple, nestled in the heart of the city – Situated in a densely populated residential area, the north-facing property stands quietly amid the urban fabric, enclosed on three sides by neighboring properties. Created with spatial limits both in plan and cross-section in mind, the design embraces vertical continuity, creating a fluid and expansive living space.

House Boêmia / Costa Matoso Arquitetura e Engenharia

The Casas Boêmia are semi-detached homes born from the idea that a small house can also provide a comfortable space for family and friends to gather. Since these homes are built on a half-lot—measuring 5 x 25 meters—we focused on enhancing common areas. With a total built area of 85m², we managed to create a spacious living room integrated with the dining area and kitchen. We opted to include a single parking space, which allowed for the creation of a wooden deck with an outdoor barbecue area. The key feature of the project was placing the barbecue adjacent to the kitchen counter, separated by a sliding door that disappears into the side of the structure, eliminating the need for duplicate sinks and freezers.
