sukchulmok + BRBB set Pojeon-jip on former farmland site<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pojeon-jip, or ‘the house that embraces the field,’ is a residential<\/a><\/strong> project in Gyeonggi-do, Korea<\/a><\/strong>, designed by sukchulmok<\/a><\/strong> in collaboration with BRBB. Located at the foot of a mountain on a 1,300-square-meter former farmland site, the house is positioned to face an actively cultivated vegetable garden. The design is defined by intersecting volumes composed of differing materials, which create layered visual depth while maintaining privacy and spatial enclosure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The project is planned in two phases. The current structure consists of a conjoined building that accommodates an elderly couple and includes a guest room. A future mirrored addition is expected to introduce a workspace and annex, supporting extended stays by the couple\u2019s adult sons. This phased development allows the house to support multi-generational use over time.<\/p>\n

Fence lines and exterior walls are integrated into one form<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

A primary design consideration was the openness of the site, which lacked natural screening. To address this, the collaborative design team<\/a><\/strong> between\u00a0sukchulmok + BRBB opted for the overlap of the building mass with site boundaries, integrating fence lines and external walls into a continuous architectural form. This approach generated a denser spatial organization and contributed to an enhanced sense of enclosure without compromising natural views or light.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The structure\u2019s walls and roof are based on a standardized 600\u00d71200mm formwork module, with wall and roof heights set at 2400mm. These dimensions establish consistency and a sense of order throughout the building. Material junctions and modular rhythms emphasize the transitions between different surfaces, producing a layered spatial composition that alternates between volumetric solidity and planar transparency.<\/p>\n

Pojeon-jip combines Agricultural and intergenerational living<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The material palette\u00a0emphasizes contrast between exterior and interior conditions. While the building presents a robust, enclosed exterior, interior openings frame the surrounding forested hillside, functioning like constructed viewports. Interior volumes remain compact and efficient, oriented toward the agricultural field, which continues to be actively maintained by the residents.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pojeon-jip exemplifies a residential typology in which agricultural practice and domestic life are closely integrated. By situating the house directly alongside a working vegetable garden and maintaining strong visual and functional connections to the land, the project supports a mode of living that is both site-specific and intergenerational.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
