Moon Hoon: visang house, korea

'Visang house exterior'

The "Visang House" is the new project of Moon Hoon. this house is situated in
Ilsandong-gu, South Korea.

"The seoul-based architect "moon boon" is known for his exuberant architectural gestures that often represent a bold and whimsical break with the landscape. the angled, monumental volume of the house occupies the long plot while maximizing mountain views. The  variously sized exterior windows frame the valley while dematerializing inner rooms and a band of angled glazing further emphasizes the steep mass."
