The brief was to create an interior inspired by the style of Park house from the film Parasite. The aesthetic of the residence takes cues from modernism. The walls are clad with wooden panels and large stone slabs. Ceiling panels are a design on their own: wooden panels in metal frames combined with carefully planned architectural lighting, HVAC grilles and access panels to electrical blinds.

The detail is minimal yet sharp and precise. Each junction and alignment is well thought through and coordinated to allow free flow of the space.

We adjusted the original architecture to emphasise the volume and better suit the client’s needs for function and space. We pushed the whole wall of the house by half a meter north to enlarge the rooms, raised the ceilings on both floors, and we enlarged the windows to maximise the access of natural light and connection with the outdoors. The house is fully automatic on a smart home system. All mechanical engineering is concealed from view.

We were initially asked to design the interior. As we went further in the design process the client kept on adding more elements into our scope: external elevations, a swimming pool, a garden, a playground and many more. We are excited to be working on such a complex project and to be given the opportunity to expand our vision throughout.
