One Room - Living Landscape

In the city’s construction, solid vertical walls traditionally define the boundary between private and public, artificial and natural, family and society. The design draws inspiration from the organic form of the roof addition on the site—an informal, unregulated space that defies conventional building regulations. This boundary, however, begins to dissolve, fostering a reimagined relationship between humans and nature within the urban fabric.

A home originates from individual needs and is shaped by relationships with others. It should not consist of isolated rooms but rather a composition of functional spaces. A home emerges when human activities connect these spaces, making it more dynamic and fluid. Instead of relying on walls to define spaces, this concept envisions “home” as a collection of functional areas differentiated by varying slopes and heights. This approach simultaneously creates a sense of separation and connection, using varying distances to enrich spatial relationships.

When scaled up, this design philosophy extends to housing complexes, communities, and even the city, harmonizing human environments with nature. By introducing an organic slab structure, the concept redefines the spatial connection between people and the natural world, creating a new living landscape seamlessly integrating human and ecological systems.
