The house is for a family of three built on the northern corner lot of a gently-curving, tiered residential land. PeacoQ House seat of a residential neighborhood and enjoys views of the peaceful landscape over the bank on its eastern side. While its southwestern sides are hemmed in by neighboring houses, the land opens up in a fan-shape towards the street on the northeastern side, giving it a unique character.
Furthermore, UID Architects used this unique site to revisit the concept of having no boundaries ― to envision the overall perspective by treating the surrounding green areas as part of the project's outdoor space. Specifically, they extended the building volume so that it sits as close to the edge as possible within the allowable setback-line regulation.
A large, arc-shaped wall stands along the site perimeter, creating a small garden that functions as a buffer between the inside and outside. The concentric circle extended wall can maximize the direction of the road, increase the utilization rate of the land. At the same time, the walled garden also brings the natural landscape into the interior, giving the space a more comfortable atmosphere.
Additionally, the ever-changing sunlight from the south is projected onto the northeast wall, allowing the residents to feel the light in each room. UID Architects by building a small, three-dimensional landscape and a single large, floating wall within the small distance that lies between the family and the street, they believe them were able to create a vibrant living environment that helps the residents expand their scope of interaction while also satisfying their requirements.
