6X6 HOUSE | Younghan Chung Architects

I liked my room ― it's not a house; I had no house ― no matter to what extent. (omitted) Because my room seemed to keep this much just for me, I was always grateful for my room, and also, I was happy since I seemed to have been born into the world, designated to such a room. [ Wings, Yi Sang, 1936. ] ( Yi Sang ( August 20, 1910 – April 17, 1937 ) is an author of modern Korean literature ) The Minimal House To me, the Minimal House doesn't mean just a small house. It means a house that reflects Minimal Architecture, which, starting from minimum functions and tapping into its functions, a resident can discover unexpected space to define an Area ( Room ) or make a variable use of space in a spontaneous choice. Furniture corridor : a storage system with minimum functions. In residence, Furniture corridor refers "a storage system with minimum functions". It is a variable system of which the functions can be selected by a resident, instead of the architect. It can handle storage of various functions and acts, including storage of acts, storage of furniture, and storage of landscape. First applied in a 9x9 experimental house, furniture corridor stores essential furniture items and utility facilities, and a room is given variable definition depending on the frequency of its use. Advanced a little bit from the 6x6 house, it serves not only as a space for furniture, utilities, and pet animals, but also vertical lighting. Further, it harbors a stairway that provides the experience of sequential variation between interior and exterior spaces. The outdoor garden between an indoor room and another as found in the 9x9 experimental house comes to have a stereoscopic, vertical garden at another level in the 6x6 house, thus covering for the privacy of each room otherwise open due to see-through glass and securing various views while serving as a terrace, simultaneously. The exterior elevation is a variable, open-and-close wall, with varying expressions. The 6x6 house is like a small green house filled with light.
