SPACE September 2024 (No. 682)
gimcheon house is located in a detached housing complex in the district unit planning zones. When a two-storey massing with the maximum building coverage and floor area ratio according to zoning guidelines is topped with a pitched roof with a slope specified by the guidelines, the roof can seem strangely out of place. The second floor became smaller than the first floor in order to bring the roof to the lower level, where most of the rooms were densely arranged on the east side of the first floor. This gave the house the proportion of a single-storey building with the roof at arm’s length. The eaves extended from the roof blocked direct sunlight from coming into the kitchen and dining area and created a cosy floor space outside. We always want to bring the roof and eaves down to the lower level, and a lightweight wood frame is excellent in this regard. The roof height can be lowered by as much as 200mm by using the cavity wall insulation method where insulation is sandwiched between the studs. Also, the size of the rafters in the eaves and the exposed wooden studs on the inside of the clerestory are very small, which fits well with the architectural atmosphere we are pursuing. It can be flexibly changed during the frame construction to suit the surrounding environment.
