The STREET / Studio VDGA

The Street is envisioned as a community house designed for a plotted residential development of modest 1500 sq.ft. plots, where each homeowner builds their own dream home. As urban land becomes increasingly expensive, many families are moving to the city's peripheries. This transition, however, often comes with a loss of the vibrant social life found in traditional neighbourhoods. The Street seeks to bridge this gap by offering a shared space that complements the Indian way of life, rooted in community interaction, cultural continuity, and everyday connection.

The bold use of frustum-shaped metal exterior walls reflects a contemporary aesthetic. The design initially proposes light steel structures with fiber cement cladding—using modern materials and construction to echo traditional methods, a thoughtful approach. However, we suggest adopting more common concrete structures for the exterior walls to lower technical barriers, enhance weather resistance against wind and snow, and achieve a simpler, more rustic expression that contrasts sharply with the metal roof. We also recommend adding more semi-outdoor spaces in each dwelling to create additional viewing highlights for visitors.

Located at the edge of Bukchon Hanok Village in Seoul, the Verish Anguk Flagship Store reinterprets the intimate nature of lingerie through calm architectural expression and tactile warmth. Guided by Cheong-yeon—blue-tinted smoke that softly spreads—the design conveys the brand's sensibility through gradual spatial immersion.

Set in a quiet residential area, the building was designed with an open space at the opening, with an axis running from there to the approach as the layout plan. A roof with east-west eaves emphasizes this axis. The roof itself was designed with consideration for sunlight reaching the house on the north side, with two roofs of different heights, the north roof being lower.
