Courtyard and Room: A Framed Relationship

A modern Korean house organized around a courtyard. The main interior spaces open towards an inner courtyard enclosed by the building; the courtyard contains very few elements: a patch of gravel, a single tree, a stone. From the interior, the wooden frame of the opening crops the courtyard into a horizontal painting. Between the courtyard and the room is a paper or glass door that can be fully slid open, connecting the two spaces when open. Avoid: making the courtyard a lush garden, having the opening face an external street, using large areas of frameless floor-to-ceiling glass, adding complex elements other than a pond to the courtyard.

一個以庭院組織的韓式現代住宅。室內的主要空間都朝向一個被建築圍住的內庭開口;庭院裡的東西極少:一片碎石、一株樹、一塊石。從室內看出去,開口的木框把庭院裁切成一幅橫向的畫。庭與室之間是一道可以完全推開的紙門或玻璃門,打開時兩者連成一片。避免:把庭院做成茂密的花園、讓開口朝向外部街道、使用大面積無框的落地玻璃、在庭院加入水池以外的複雜元素。
