영월 네모난 집 2023.8

The 'Square House' in Yeongwol

 

 

 

땅과 집
영월 주택은 귀촌을 꿈꾸는 아들이 고향에서 거주하는 부모님과 함께 살 집을 마련하기 위해 건축 부지를 구입하며 시작됐다. 건축주는 집을 지을 땅을 찾기 위해 1년 가량 건축사와 함께 영월읍 중심가의 많은 대지를 둘러보았으나 적당한 장소를 찾지 못했다. 그러던 중 마지막으로 찾아 매입한 땅이 현재 집이 지어진 대지이다. 기존에 찾던 읍내 중심가에서는 조금 떨어졌지만, 뒤편으로 병풍같이 펼쳐진 산과 강의 풍경을 배경으로 가진 집이 지어지게 되었다.

집과 마당
대지 주변에는 건물이 없고 시각적으로 수평적인 느낌이 강해서 땅 위로 구축되는 네모난 집이 주변과 잘 어우러질 수 있도록 낮고 넓게 계획했다. 낮고 넓게 만들어진 이 집은 가운데 마당을 두어 시간대와 상관없이 충분한 양의 채광이 가능하고, 곧 마당을 향해 시원하게 열린 두 곳의 거실에 자연스럽게 유입된다. 마당을 중심으로 서측에는 안채라고 할 수 있는 부모님의 거주공간이 배치되었고, 동측으로 부모님께 집을 지어드린 아들의 공간이 만들어졌다.

열림과 닫힘
가족들은 대지가 사방에 막힘없이 열려있어 프라이버시 측면에서 부담을 느꼈다. 외부 시선을 최소화하기 위해, 외부에 접한 면에는 환기와 채광을 위한 최소한의 창만 배치되기를 요구했다. 소통은 마당을 중심으로 가족끼리만 이루어질 수 있기를 바랐다. 요구에 따른 프라이버시를 확보하기 위해 집이 담장 역할을 하도록 하면서 주차장과 마당 전면에도 담장과 높은 대문을 설치하여 온전히 하늘로만 열린 마당을 두었다. 마당에는 꽃을 좋아하는 어머니를 위해 작은 정원을 두었고, 크지 않은 단풍나무를 심었다. 외부로 열려있지는 않지만 집 안에서도 계절과 시간의 흐름을 느낄 수 있는 집이 되었다. 또한 마당을 향해 열린 거실과 거실 상부 천창을 통해 햇살과 자연이 집 안으로 충분히 들어올 수 있도록 했다.

밖과 안
외장 마감은 크게 두 가지로 구성했다. 담장과 대문을 포함한 바깥벽은 회색 롱브릭타일로 마감하여 단단하게 집을 감싼 느낌을 강조했고, 대문 안쪽 마당에 면한 벽은 밝은 백색의 외단열시스템으로 마감해 포근하면서도 답답한 느낌이 들지 않도록 했다.

소통과 프라이버시
마당에는 거실과 연결된 콘크리트 툇마루를 두어 가족들이 서로 편안하게 소통할 수 있는 공간으로 활용될 수 있는 장치를 마련했다. 또한 부모님과 아들의 거실은 마당을 향해 열어두어 서로 바라볼 수 있도록 하고, 각자의 방은 채광과 환기에 필요한 창만 확보하여 가족 간의 프라이버시도 지켜질 수 있게 했다.

The land and the house
The “Square House” project in Yeongwol began when a son, who had dreamed of returning to the countryside, purchased land to build a house to live with his parents who had been living in his hometown village. Together with an architect the client surveyed many sites in the center of Yeongwol-eup (town) for about a year to find suitable land to build a house on, but he could not find the right place. The land he ultimately found and purchased is the site on which the house currently stands and although it was a bit further from the town center than he previously wanted, he was able build a house against a backdrop of scenic mountains and rivers spreading like a folding screen.

The house and the yard
There are no other buildings near the site, and the strong visually horizontal feeling allows the square house built on the ground to be planned low and wide to blend well with the surroundings. This low and wide house encloses an inner courtyard in the middle so that a sufficient amount of light is always available regardless of the time of day, and light flows naturally into the two living rooms that are open to the yard. Surrounding the yard, the parents’ living space, which can be considered the main house, is located on the west side, and the space for the son who built the house for his parents is found on the east side.

Openness and closedness
The family worried about privacy as the site was open to all directions. They requested that only a minimum number of windows for ventilation and lighting be installed facing the outside to prevent strangers from looking into the house, and they hoped that communication between family members only take place around the yard. In order to secure the requested level of privacy, the house itself serves as a fence, and an additional fence with a tall gate was installed in front of the parking lot and yard, leaving the yard open only to the sky. The client placed a small garden in the yard for his mother, who loves flowers, and planted a modest maple tree. Thus, even though the house is not open to the outside, it has become a place where family members can feel the flow of the seasons and time. In addition, the house is designed to allow sunlight and nature to enter the house through the living room open to the yard and the skylight above the living room.

Inside and outside
Two types of finishes are applied to the exterior of the house. The outer walls, including the fence and the gate, are covered with gray-colored long brick tiles to emphasize the feeling of firmly wrapping the house, while the wall facing the yard inside the gate is finished with a bright white external insulation material to create a cozy, rather than stuffy, atmosphere.

Communication and privacy
A concrete toenmaru (Korean-style porch) connected to the living room was placed in the yard to provide a space for family members to communicate in a comfortable setting. In addition, the parents’ and son’s living rooms are open to the yard so that they can see each other, and each room only has the number of windows necessary for light and ventilation so that they each can protect their privacy.
