Flowing ViewThe site is located in Mangwon-dong in Seoul, South Korea. On a limited site with an area of only 70m2 and the intent to lease the building by each floor, the exterior stairs became the project?s most important (and perhaps inevitable) element. As the stairs follow the building upwards it folds and disappears out of view, controlling the view from the stairs as well as from the inside. Typically, small spaces are combined and simplified to be used as big as possible. In this project, we propose a careful alignment of spaces with the ?vertical corridor? and views that flow outside to minimize the effect of its tight spatial conditions.
