moon hoon's angular concrete dwelling in korea resembles a glaring owl

in the south korean port city of busan, architect moon hoon has completed a four-storey house that resembles a perched owl. completed for a client who works in the security industry, the imposing concrete dwelling takes on a defensive and protective appearance with carefully positioned apertures providing external views out, while simultaneously ensuring residential privacy.

after seeing the distinct style and original approach of moon hoon’s artistic work, the client requested a house for his family that also included a series of fun spaces for his young child. while the uppermost storey resembles the owl’s head, the circulation space and staircase forms the bird’s wing. at night, the light from within the home illuminates the windows, forming two glaring eyes that overlook the neighborhood.

the ground floor contains some commercial space as well as provision for car parking. the majority of the living accommodation is found on the level above, with a lounge, a small kitchen, and dining facilities. the third storey includes an outdoor terrace alongside a communal family room and a larger kitchen. the family’s sleeping accommodation is found at the uppermost storey.

‘sometimes, admirers of my paintings commission me for an architectural project,’ explains moon hoon. ‘I, as an architect, am greatly pleased to have them as my clients because they usually have very strong personalities and an open-minded taste for new things. in addition, many of them are young people who want a special space for their children, and this helps in the creation of a house full of quirks and fun.’

 문훈건축가는 최근 부산주택지에 부엉이를 형상화한 4층건물을 완성하였다. 보안업계에 종사하는 클라이언트를 위해 노출콘크리트를 사용하여 단단하고 방어적인 이미지 나타내고, 적절하게 계획된 창을 통해 주거의 프라이버시를 지키면서 외부를 바라볼 수 있게 하였다.건축주는 문훈건축가의 뚜렷한 건축스타일과 접근방식에 깊은 인상을 받고, 그의 가족들을 위한 집(특히 자신의 아이를 위한 재미있는 공간)을 짓기위해 문훈건축가에게 설계를 의뢰하였다. 최상부층은 '부엉이의 머리'의 형태를 의도하였고 복도공간과 계단실은 '부엉이의 날개'의 형태를 의도하였다. 밤에는 실내조명이 '부엉이의 머리'의  창을 통해 외부로 드러나면서 마치 빛나고있는 부엉이의 두 눈처럼 보인다. 1층에는 주차장과 근린생활시설이 위치하고있고, 2층에는 침실, 부주방, 식당과 같이 가족들이 공동으로 쓸수있는 공간들이  배치되어져있다. 3층에는 거실, 주방 및 외부테리스와같은 가족들이 공동으로 쓸 수 있는 실들이 배치되었다. 가족들의 각 개인방은 최상층에 배치되어져있다.

 문훈건축가는 설명한다.  '때떄로, 클라이언트들은 내가 그린 스케치를 보고나서 나에게 설계를 의뢰하는 경우도 있다. '  '나는 건축가로서 나의 클라이언트들과 일을 할수있는것에 매우 감사하다. 나의 고객들은 개성이 매우 강하고, '새로운것'에 대해 개방적으로 받아들인다. 게다가 많은 클라이언트들은 자신의 아이들을 위한 특별한 공간을 원하는데 이러한 점이 내가 재미있고 떄로는 기이한 설계를 할 수 있도록 해준다.
