韩国,首尔,松坡区某小型住宅的灵活单元体块 / SsD Architecture

随着城市房屋密度和价格一年一年水涨船高,这个全球性的问题已蔓延到许多大城市,韩国首都首尔也不例外。韩国建筑公司SsD Architecture利用这个概念打造了“松坡区小型住宅”方案,它由14个“单元体块”组成,其独特之处在于能让居住者根据他们变化的生活方式和工作状况来改变户型。

居住者可以要求住单间,或者在一对夫妇或三五好友住在一起的情况下,重新组合这些体块,变成更大的户型。本方案引入了一种全新的类型,将住宅的界限向外延伸,整合了半公共通道和阳台。

“然而,单元户型越变越小,地价外加开发商的利润空间只能创造一种临时的住房类型,社会价值较低。” SsD Architecture评论道,“单元之间的公共空间就好像薯粉珍珠周围的模糊不清的凝胶,这种‘薯粉空间’成为公共与私人区域、室内外之间的柔和交叉点,在邻里之间营造了社会架构。”

本建筑本身由一系列抬高的体量构成,其高度使由金属屏障遮挡的凹入部分看上去各异,金属屏障包裹在整个方案的外部,同时它们也充当了栏杆、栅栏和引流通路。在内部,基本的小型单元布局紧凑,但是麻雀虽小五脏俱全,包含了居住者所需的所有设施,这要归功于高效的活动隔墙。光线透过天窗弥漫在整个空间内,同时也延伸到了天花板表面。为了进一步激励社交,一层的展览空间、地下室和二层在空间上与住宅单元相连,就仿佛公共起居室,位于核心位置的裸露的连桥始终将各个住户联系在一起。

as urban density and cost of housing increases by the year, the global problem can be seen in major cities such as the south korea capital, seoul. using this notion, korean firm SsD architecture created the ‘songpa micro-housing’ scheme composed of 14 ‘unit blocks’ which uniquely allows the residents to adapt their home’s configuration depending on their changing life and work situations.

residents can either claim a single space, or in the case where a couple or friends desire to live together, recombine the blocks for larger configurations. the scheme introduces a new typology that extends the limits of the housing unit to integrate semi-public circulation and balconies.

‘as unit types get smaller however, land costs coupled with developer driven profit margins can merely create a provisional housing type with little social value’ comments SsD architecture, the communal space in between the units  are ‘ like the ambiguous gel around a tapioca pearl, this ‘tapioca space’ becomes a soft intersection between public/private and interior/exterior, creating social fabrics between neighbors.’

the building itself is comprised of a series of rising volumes; their heights, differing recessions masked by metal screen which wraps around the entire scheme, while acting as the railings, barrier and drainage paths. inside, the basic micro-unit is compact but contains everything the resident needs due to the efficient, operable walls. light is permeated into the space through clerestory windows and simultaneously extends the ceiling plane. further stimulating the sense of community, exhibition spaces on the ground floor, basement, and second floors are spatially linked to the units as a shared living room, all the while the exposed bridges at the core link the residences together.
