그 반복 속에 우리는 소통과 문화를 읽어 낸다.
다양한 역사와 문화의 켜로 이루어진 경복궁근처에 위치한 웨스트 빌리지는
1층 상가와 2,3층이 주거로 이루어진 근린생활시설로 설계 되었다.
지역적 특성을 고스란히 담아 내는 건축물의 마감재, 벽돌은 건축가가 지향하는
평범하지만 평범하지 않은, 고유한 아이텐티를 갖는 건축환경을 만들어 낸다.
이것은 특히 건축물 남측 파사드에 구현된 벽돌 패턴에 잘 나타나는데
일정한 간격을 유지하며 형성되는 수많은 보이드로
내외부를 필터링 하는 막으로 건축물과 외부환경을 버퍼한다.
외부의 직사광선, 태양의 입사각을 고려한 보이드와 솔리드의 패턴은
내부조도를 일정하게 유지시키는데 도움을 주며 그 반대로 내부 거주환경을
외부로 부터 보호하는 가드 역활을 동시에 수행한다.
또한 조각난 수많은 뷰 포인트가 모여 아름다운 도시풍경을 감상 할 수 있는
파노마라 뷰를 형성하는 잇점을 만들어 내기도 한다.
지역적 특성을 고스란히 담아내는 벽돌의 물성과 내외부 공간을 버퍼하는 패턴은
건축가의 말처럼 평범하지만 결코 평범하지 않은 비범한 아이텐티를 만들어 낸다.

The West Village building, located in the West Village near Gyeongbok
Palace, is a low-rise, high-density, mixed-use building. This area is
full of multi-layered beauty of Seoul. To preserve historic and cultural
ambience of the area, we proposed a typical ‘rainbow cake’ building, a
concept developed by DJHA. This 3-story building incorporates both
residential and commercial functions vertically.
Architects: Doojin Hwang Architects
Location: Seoul, South Korea
Architect In Charge: Doojin Hwang
Design Team: Jeongyoon Choi
Area: 209.83 sqm
Year: 2011
Photographs: Youngchae Park
Contractor: Janghak Construction
Structure Engineer: Hwan Structural Engineers
Civil Engineer: GeoTech Engineering & Consultants
Mechanical Engineer: Daekyoung Engineering
To design an ‘ordinary but not ordinary’ building, we tried to create a
building rooted in its location and tried not to disturb the ambience of
the historic West Village area, where the building is located. Large
northern window commends a panoramic view towards Mt. Bukak and Mt.
Inwang. On the southern facade, a unique brick pattern was used as a
visual filter to screen the view of the building in front while allowing
sunlight in. This unique pattern of bricks produces various shadow
patterns by change of the time and the season, and makes the space rich
and alive.
Main material of The West Village is bricks. We attempted to emphasize the natural quality of the materials and avoid using too many different materials. Likewise, the interior was finished with paint rather than expensive, unique finish materials. Residential spaces on the 2nd and 3rd floors are partitioned by built-in furniture, which is integrated with lighting. Lightings were installed at the upper part of the furniture; the indirect light illuminates the ceilings.
