Located in Gusan-dong, Seoul<\/a><\/strong>, at the corner of a three-way intersection, One House 2 by DRAWING WORKS explores how small-scale residential<\/a><\/strong> design can adapt existing structures to contemporary living. The project continues the studio\u2019s investigation into one-person housing, following an earlier project in Yeongdong that featured a similar dwelling set within a natural landscape. This second iteration situates the concept within the dense environment of the city.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The house is composed of two floors, each measuring approximately 21 sqm. The compact plan emphasizes clear circulation and efficient use of space. The remodeling<\/a><\/strong> included demolishing an external staircase to introduce a new parking area and ground-level entrance. A steel<\/a><\/strong> frame ensures stability and creates flexibility in the reconfigured layout. Inside, the arrangement connects the parking, entrance, kitchen, and staircase in a straightforward sequence that extends upward toward the living areas. On the second floor, the relationship between the room, terrace, and rooftop provides varied spatial experiences within the compact volume.<\/p>\n all images by Yoon Joonhwan<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The design addresses environmental performance through careful window placement. South-facing openings maximize daylight, while north-facing windows are minimized to reduce energy loss. These decisions balance comfort with efficiency in a small-scale footprint. Externally, the house responds to its exposed location on three sides. Rather than asserting scale, the design adopts a restrained presence that blends into its surroundings. Corrugated steel cladding defines the facade, chosen for durability and economy. By layering three different off-the-shelf patterns, the elevation achieves depth and variation without additional ornamentation. This material strategy demonstrates how modest interventions can enrich the dialogue between a building and its urban context.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Through its compact yet adaptable design, One House 2 by studio<\/a><\/strong> DRAWING WORKS redefines the potential of small-scale architecture in dense urban conditions. The project illustrates how careful planning, material economy, and subtle reconfiguration can produce a residence that is both efficient and responsive, contributing to broader discussions on the future of urban housing.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n name:<\/strong>\u00a0One House 2 principal architect:<\/strong>\u00a0Youngbae Kim<\/p>\n location:<\/strong>\u00a0Seoul, Korea<\/p>\n photographer:<\/strong>\u00a0Yoon Joonhwan |\u00a0@yoon_joonhwan<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n designboom has received this project from our\u00a0DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n The post drawing works clads one-person house in seoul with layered corrugated steel facade<\/a> appeared first on designboom | architecture & design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" DRAWING WORKS explores compact single-person urban living \u00a0 Located in Gusan-dong, Seoul, at the corner of a three-way intersection, One House 2 by DRAWING WORKS explores how small-scale residential design can adapt existing structures to … <\/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":"\nSmall-Scale Architecture Meets Urban Context in One House 2<\/h2>\n
