Designed by Finish architect Sami Rintala as part of the Home Design for Anyang Public Art Project, this modern wood and steel house design graces a treed hilltop in Seoul, Korea. With a large main volume of weathered steel, a concrete cellar below, and four smaller adjoining wooden volumes overhanging above, the house is certainly an amazing, contemporary example among its natural surroundings in a river valley. But this home’s connection to nature is clear. According to modern Norwegian architecture firm Rinalta Eggertsson Architects, “Each small space [within] includes a suggestion for use and the symbolic presence of one of the basic elements – fire, water, air, earth.” Large windows and skylights illuminate interiors is unexpected places, adding yet another layer of interest to the contemporary home.
