[ The Double Landscape Created by the Outer Shell ]
The floor-to-ceiling glass window, measuring 30 meters in width and 12 meters in height, reflects the ancient tombs and trees of Daereungwon exactly as they are. As the actual landscape and the reflected landscape overlap, the building exists as a surface that captures its surroundings rather than revealing itself.
[ Ancient tomb containing a window ]
💡 A single glass wall completely encloses an ancient tomb. The frameless floor-to-ceiling glass binds the indoor seating with the outdoor ridge into a single scene, erasing the boundary between inside and outside. The viewer encounters the sensation of being placed within the landscape, even while inside.
[ Diagonally angled roof ]
The diagonal lines of the roof are drawn parallel to each other but vary in length, creating differences in height, and these diagonal lines cross the site, simultaneously creating a dynamic feel and a sense of spatial division throughout the building.
[ Exhibition Hierarchy Created by the Slanted Ceiling ]
Small paintings are placed along the sloped roof where the ceiling slopes downward, and large paintings in the sections where it slopes upward, so that the size of the space and the artworks correspond to each other. As visitors walk, they will also experience changes in the size of the artworks in accordance with the height of the ceiling.
[ Stairway to the Sky ]
The stairs leading to the rooftop are designed to extend deep into the building, maximizing natural light and enriching the interior space. From the rooftop, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Daereungwon, Hwangnidan-gil, and downtown Gyeongju.
[ Furniture receding into the background ]
💡 The furniture, made of white and wood tones, is placed at a low height so as not to obstruct the view of the paintings hanging behind it. The circular chairs are positioned to allow one to face Daereungwon from any desired angle, so the furniture itself serves as a device that regulates the viewer's gaze.
