Rock House

Near a beautiful rock found on site, this house overlooking the Northern Han River in Korea has been conceived like a playground and like a stage to observe the landscape, the rock and the forest.

As the demand of rural housing grows, more and more people are developing and moving to spectacular mountainous areas.

The site on which the rock house was located is also one of the rural housing sites developed in this way. Particularly, the greatest advantage of developing a mountainous area into a building site is ensuring the open view based on the high level as well as the right to the southern light with no interference. In addition, the Rock House has a unique site specific: the naturally stony land, excavation of which thus has revealed a great rock on the site. The unrealistic rock encountered when visiting the site has been located at the mouth of entering the house, so exquisitely hiding the neighboring house and opening the view toward the Northern Han River.

The clients are two sisters whose hobbies are travel and woodwork, who wants a house that can be also a playground.

B.U.S Architecture left intact the great rock existing on the ground. Putting the house at the center of the site and creating a circulation inside the house enabled sequence from the rock through the forest at the backyard to the living room where one can see the Northern Han River. In this experience, one comes to encounter three yards with different characters and can enjoy so long and variegated landscape.
