summary
Located in Sinhyeon-ri, Opo-eup, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, the Hurasian Town House project (2009–2010) is a multi-family residential development composed of four buildings with a total of 25 units.
Designed with the concept of “openness” and “living slowly,” the architecture embraces the surrounding natural landscape of Munhyeong Mountain and Silgae Stream, creating a serene living environment within close reach of urban conveniences.
The master plan integrates the site’s natural contours, aligning the building orientation and open spaces to capture seasonal winds and maximize views toward the forested hills.
Architecturally, the design treats the site and surrounding area as a single canvas, blending building volumes with the landscape while using varied exterior materials to enhance visual richness.
Each unit benefits from expansive glazing and private outdoor spaces, reinforcing the connection between indoor living and nature.
By reflecting the site’s natural topography in its layout and adopting a variety of textures and materials, Hurasian achieves a distinctive architectural identity that harmonizes modern residential needs with environmental sensitivity.
Facing Munhyeong Mountain and the flowing Silgae Stream, the site offers a natural environment where one can enjoy the comfort of rural living while still being near the city.
The architectural plan for Hurasian treats the site and its surroundings as a single canvas, harmonizing with the landscape and opening generously toward the green forest.
The design concept focuses on embracing the surrounding nature through an “open” approach, allowing the environment to flow seamlessly into the living spaces.
Following the natural flow of Silgae Stream, the master plan reflects the terrain’s contours and aims for an open spatial structure that captures the abundant winds from Munhyeong Mountain.
While maintaining a distinctive exterior form, various architectural materials were incorporated both inside and outside to create a rich and layered spatial experience.
