Project Description:
‘SPACE 昌’, located in Changpyeong-myeon, Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do, a slow city, is a space where you can escape from everyday life and experience the changes of the four seasons, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When you arrive at ‘SPACE 昌’ along the stone wall road registered with the Cultural Heritage Administration, you will see a gate made of a burnt material called ‘Yakisugi’ between the concrete pillars with patterned bamboo shapes, a symbol of Damyang, awakening a new sense that cannot be found in the village. He stops walking.
When you open the front door and enter, spaces made up of new materials that harmonize with the wood, tiles, Korean paper, bamboo, and bricks of the existing old house reveal a restrained presence. The main building and munganchae, which retain the appearance of a traditional Korean house, show the history of this place, and the warehouse, which was covered with cement and blocked communication with the front yard and the distant mountain, was renovated with a new look, leaving only the wooden structure and roof, creating harmony between the buildings and Achieve communication between yards. The south window design, which was designed to emphasize the hieroglyphic origin of ‘window,’ captures the sense of place and history of this project as an architectural concept.
