The southern facade opens generously toward the wooded slope, capturing warmth and light for communal areas. By contrast, the northern side buffers the home from street-level intensity with fewer openings and a more introspective character. This push-pull in orientation is echoed in the material palette, composed of uncoated raw concrete, natural <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/marble-and-stone-design\/\"><strong>stone<\/strong><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/wood-and-timber-architecture\/\"><strong>timber<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>all images by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonebossi.it\/photographer\/\">Simone Bossi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">raw house employs passive strategies<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>From the outset, <a href=\"https:\/\/ordermatter.com\/\"><strong>London- and Seoul-based<\/strong><\/a> Order Matter rejects the noise of overdesign. Euroform lines in exposed concrete are drawn with intent, plywood and stone surfaces are composed to read as singular masses, and even timber flooring follows a grid that aligns across rooms. This adds a spatial rhythm to the project, where furniture feels placed, not built-in, and walls feel positioned, not imposed. Joints are minimized, ceiling lights are omitted, and indirect lighting washes down from concealed coves to preserve a sense of openness and allow future occupants to shape the mood on their own terms.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Beyond its pared-down aesthetics, Raw House employs passive strategies to elevate daily life. Living and kitchen spaces bask in southern sun while bedrooms retreat to the cooler, quieter north \u2014 reducing cooling demands and supporting sleep. The thermal mass of the building stabilizes interior temperatures and moderates humidity naturally. Even the staircase becomes a design device with its semicircular landing opening up a view to the geometry of the structure.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>tucked into a dense neighborhood on the east side of Seoul<\/p>\n<p>Raw House by architecture studio Order Matter is a compact concrete structure<\/p>\n<p>Raw House houses a street-level caf\u00e9, private flats, and a top-floor penthouse doubling as office space<\/p>\n<p>reflective surfaces complete the interiors<\/p>\n<p>curtains filter sunlight covering the floor to ceiling openings<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the mixed-use building organizes space around light, tactility, and human experience<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>uncoated raw concrete, natural stone, and timber compose the material palette<\/p>\n<p>Order Matter rejects the noise of overdesign<\/p>\n<p>the sun-oriented shell frames lush hillside views<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>capturing warmth and light for communal areas<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>Euroform lines in exposed concrete are drawn with intent<\/p>\n<p>plywood and stone surfaces are composed to read as singular masses<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong> Raw House<\/p>\n<p><strong>architect:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ordermatter.com\/\">Order Matter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ordermatter\/\">@ordermatter<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Seoul, South Korea<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>main contractor:<\/strong> Ilto Construction<\/p>\n<p><strong>photographer:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonebossi.it\/photographer\/\">Simone Bossi<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/simonebossiphotographer\/\">@simonebossiphotographer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/order-matter-mixed-use-concrete-building-sun-dense-seoul-neighborhood-06-04-2025\/\">order matter opens mixed-use concrete building to the sun in dense seoul neighborhood<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>order matter designs a sunlit concrete refuge in seoul \u00a0 Tucked into a dense neighborhood on the east side of Seoul, Raw House by architecture studio Order Matter is a compact concrete structure that combines &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
