The Elektra House Designed by Adjaye, David Adjaye,  Adjaye Associates We find in the architectural ideas of the house that the elements tend to vary widely in appearance, because they are inspired by specific standards of physical space to be occupied and the intended function of the building. Electra House of Representatives and dirty (in 2000 and 2002, respectively, both in London) and two of the most well-known private residences designed by examples .

• Project Description, Elektra House : 

The Elektra house was conceived as a large-scale light box and has no conventional windows. It stands on a site that was previously occupied by a single-storey workshop and there are several references to the earlier building in the new house. The height of the front facade is the same as the neighbouring houses but, like its predecessor, it has the appearance of a single storey structure. The clients for the Elektra house were two artists, with small children, who wanted to be able to use the living space for the display of art. With its generous width and top-lighting, the space behind the front facade was intended for this purpose. After the openness of the ground floor, the first floor is laid out as a series of separate rooms lit by rooflights. The only view of the surrounding area is from the top of the staircase, looking through the curtain wall that forms the top half of the back facade. 

Electra House

Despite the dark colour of the front and side facades, the physical character of the exterior is light rather than heavy. Most of the construction is hidden from view: on the street facade, the pattern of open joints between panels of resin-faced plywood is the most noticeable detail. Towards the street, the unbroken plane of the facade draws attention to the section of the street and the scale of the panels hints at the rhythm of the missing windows.

The client, a sculptor with two small children, desired a flexible home which would contain a space in which to work as well as live. The program made use of the existing boundary walls and foundations. A new steel frame was inserted, from which hang the facades, allowing a small load to be trans-ferred onto the existing footings. 

side-elevation

The front of the house faces north and is conceived as an insulated facade with no outside views. This mute elevation is expressed in the interior as a double-height space with a continuous skylight running the length of the house, acting as a light chimney for the flexible live/work space on the ground. 

front-elevation

The back of the house faces south and enjoys the full east to west aspect. This is exploited by making a large glazed clerestory and reflecting wall, cre-ating a second double-height space, which scoops sunlight into the ground floor. The lower part of the elevation is divided into two: on one side is a glazed box and on the other a concertina window system opens onto a walled court space.

The upper floor is entered on the east side by a maple staircase. Upstairs, the rooms are small but the floor to ceiling heights are deliberately tall (3.2 meters). Each room has a full height door, which is the same thickness as the wall construction, and a skylight which is positioned to reflect as much light into the rooms as possible. The skylights are inclined in a specific direc-tion resulting in a clock-like effect.

Site plan of Eunpyeong Eco-Museum

This project proposes the identity of Eunpyeong by introducing an element of 'trail'. The three trails of Discovery Trail, which is a trail for exploring and learning about the culture, society, geographical information and history of Eunpyeong, and Community Trail, which is a cultural experience trail for all ages and genders created through the participation of the residents, and Eco Trail, which is a forest trail for enjoying the pine-scent filled nature of Seooreung Nature Park while looking at its vigorous appearance as Bukhansan National Park, are all inter-connected and inter-related to recreate a space for the residents as Eunpyeong Natural Environment Museum.

SIte analysis of Eunpyeong Eco-Museum In Korea

The trails will become the vessels that contain the lives and culture of the Eunpyeong residents through the connection of trails that continue on endlessly and the communication while embracing the courtyard to allow every space to form a relationship with nature.

The outside spaces recreate the history related to the ancestors that had lived in the neighborhood such as the names of places that are being forgotten, their origin and places of interest by applying the interesting old names of places of Eunpyeong, and provide opportunities for the local residents to exclusively possess the contents of Eunpyeong.

The mass that has been designed in compliance with the inclination topography is a configuration of the high soaring (breathing) rock of Seooreung Nature Park by using the rock of Bukhansan as the motif.
The afforestation design of the roof and wall surfaces will breathe along with the history of the museum as if professing the accumulation of time of the rock with gathered moss.

An observatory cafeteria has been designed for the scenery of Bukhansan and rest, and the traffic line that connects with outside space has been designed for each level by using the inclination topography, and the exhibition design, which contains the flow of time, and the design of the middle areas (courtyard, atrium, terrace, etc.), which across the inside/outside spaces, along the spectator traffic line allow various experiences for the users.

They will fulfil their role as a place of education for learning the past, present and future of Eunpyeong-gu, and as a central space of the local culture that is created by the local residents through their direct participations, and as a place of rest that lives and breathes along the nature for the local residents.
