This small basin-like pottery village will become home to the studios and galleries of various artists. Like most planned cities, the harmony and individuality of buildings are required within new order, rather than the humanistic context of existing cities.

The entire programs are connected by a single circulation line across the two buildings.

The original plan was to create a shallow, sunken style concert hall and a terraced rest space on the first floor between the two masses, but was withdrawn due to construction cost.

Also these bridges are designed to be linked to various events in the courtyard. The bridge, which connects and surrounds the courtyard between the two buildings, but not perpendicular to the buildings, adds a lot of fun to the space with 1.4m high concrete parapets and open air.

The private exhibition area is designed slightly off the center axis of the building, therefore creates a unique space experience by opening the front window over the lifted stage. If you cross the 2nd floor bridge from the stairs, you may see the door to the workshop space where visitors can experience various culture and arts, and the outer stairway leading to the third floor residence.

When you climb the stairs, you will see the space divided by a terrace in the center, an Independent main kitchen area on your right, and a guest space for husband on your left. The public space of the building ends at this point. The private space of the building is separated from the public space by a bridge between two spaces. Once you across the bridge, you will enter the private residence with two bedrooms for a couple and their two daughters.

It appears to be an exposed concrete building, simply consisted of a two-box building, but the building has a ‘transition block’ between two floors. An axis transition of the mass, following another axis different from the axis of the main building, makes a strong three-dimensional facade facing the winding road. These irregular shapes of two axes make a strong impression and intrigue pedestrians’ curiosity about the inside of the building. Also, exposed concrete has delicate details of well-organized pattern of pine panels. Originally the direction of pine panel pattern was planned to be horizontal, but was changed to vertical during the construction process.
