The project continues the studio\u2019s investigation into one-person housing, following an earlier project in Yeongdong that featured a similar dwelling set within a natural landscape. This second iteration situates the concept within the dense environment of the city.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The house is composed of two floors, each measuring approximately 21 sqm. The compact plan emphasizes clear circulation and efficient use of space. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/renovation-architecture-and-design\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">remodeling<\/a> included demolishing an external staircase to introduce a new parking area and ground-level entrance. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/steel\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">steel<\/a> frame ensures stability and creates flexibility in the reconfigured layout. Inside, the arrangement connects the parking, entrance, kitchen, and staircase in a straightforward sequence that extends upward toward the living areas. On the second floor, the relationship between the room, terrace, and rooftop provides varied spatial experiences within the compact volume.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"drawing works clads one-person house in seoul with layered corrugated steel facade\" width=\"818\" height=\"715\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/a-house-in-the-city-center-for-one-person-10-68b82d1aadc61.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>all images by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yoon_joonhwan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Yoon Joonhwan<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Small-Scale Architecture Meets Urban Context in One House 2<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The design addresses environmental performance through careful window placement. South-facing openings maximize daylight, while north-facing windows are minimized to reduce energy loss. These decisions balance comfort with efficiency in a small-scale footprint. Externally, the house responds to its exposed location on three sides. Rather than asserting scale, the design adopts a restrained presence that blends into its surroundings. Corrugated steel cladding defines the facade, chosen for durability and economy. By layering three different off-the-shelf patterns, the elevation achieves depth and variation without additional ornamentation. This material strategy demonstrates how modest interventions can enrich the dialogue between a building and its urban context.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Through its compact yet adaptable design, One House 2 by <a href=\"https:\/\/tdws.kr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">studio<\/a> DRAWING WORKS redefines the potential of small-scale architecture in dense urban conditions. The project illustrates how careful planning, material economy, and subtle reconfiguration can produce a residence that is both efficient and responsive, contributing to broader discussions on the future of urban housing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"drawing works clads one-person house in seoul with layered corrugated steel facade\" width=\"818\" height=\"811\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/a-house-in-the-city-center-for-one-person-8-68b82d1aadbf1.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>One House 2 by DRAWING WORKS is located at a three-way intersection in Gusan-dong, Seoul<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"drawing works clads one-person house in seoul with layered corrugated steel facade\" width=\"818\" height=\"801\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/a-house-in-the-city-center-for-one-person-9-68b82d1aadc2b.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>the project adapts an existing structure for contemporary one-person urban living<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DRAWING WORKS explores compact single-person urban living \u00a0 Located in Gusan-dong, Seoul, at the corner of a three-way&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":121140,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[11716,76,354,355,49,48,356,75,6621,1242,16343],"class_list":["post-121139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-architecture-in-korea","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-renovation-and-restoration-architecture-and-design","tag-residential-architecture-and-interiors","tag-steel-architecture-and-design"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121139"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121139\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/121140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
