The Wind Hill Houses / Doojin Hwang Architects

The site of ‘The Wind Hill’ project is located on a hill on Jeju Island, the biggest island on the Korean peninsula, overlooking unique rocks and cliffs, a grand field which is called ‘Nandeureu’(in Jeju dialect), and the Pacific Ocean. On this condition, with great scenery, the goal was to compose six single-family houses that blend in with the surrounding natural environment. The main premise was that each house would not be individually isolated but would form a village with close relationships as a whole. In other words, it reflects the needs and tastes of each family individually, but at the same time maintains unity as a village.
