Kappa House / Archipelago Architects Studio
The site was originally part of a large garden from its neighbor's house, therefore the aim of this house was not to build in a residential area, but to build as if in a garden. The owner of the house plays a unique role as a Kappa street performer for his living. We initially thought there were only limited options for dealing with the plan and section of the house when we started planning a vertical flow line since a footprint is only about 23 square meters, and the maximum building height is 8 meters according to the building code of land.
