The big problem in contemporary cities is the absolute distinction between private and public space. In traditional Korean architecture, there was a space known as a . An ambiguous space that was neither purely interior nor exterior, this space was used between offices and exterior spaces. We installed louvers to delimit the public and private access to the balconies so that they can work together. The round louvers that can be opened or closed at will blur the boundaries between the rectangular flat building and external space, providing users with the option to communicate with one another. In the upper structure, which supports the louvers of the balcony façade, a space for plants has been devised. The building façade is completed by the houseplants grown by its occupants. With the increase in the number of plants, the pedestrians will be able to engage not only with those on the balconies but with nature. Moreover, the diverse façades created by the moving louvers and plants will allow the building to adopt a changing expression. This kind of living façade is expected to work as a medium for spatial communication between all city inhabitants. written by
