NAMSAMH House / TIUM Architects

Understanding of the Site. The client looked at several houses and land and chose the current house. Considering the inconvenience of transportation, he thought of Namsan Mountain in the center of Seoul as a place with a forest area. It is located in Itaewon, where the Namsan promenade is 5 minutes away. The site has a size of 12.3 meters x 7.8 meters, adjacent to a 4-meter road on the east side. It is shaped like a long land to the east and west. The slope of the site rises from south to north. Neighboring buildings are located to the south, west, and north, excluding the east side. On a site that is long in the east-west direction, the Right to light has more influence in the direction of the building. The great advantage of the site is the cityscape overlooking Seoul at a glance. Converting to the height of the building, you can see the southern Seoul landscape of Namsan from the 3rd floor. Namsan, located in the north, presents nature nearby along with the scenery of the south.
