Ongpori House by Jegong Architects is a weekend house in Jeju Island (Korea), located in a small seashore village named Ongpo whose meaning is a harbor shaped like porcelain vase.
The form of this weekend house is a direct interpretation of house architectures at Ongpo village which are either traditional stone wall structure houses with gable roof or concrete houses with flat rooftop.
Jegong Architects hope this house with 2nd floor recessed noto standout among the houses at Ongpo. The sanding processed surface of exterior exposed concrete wall inspired by nearby warehouse wall dilapidated by strong sea wind, was chosen also for the same intention.
This house has no space dividing walls between rooms except toilet and bathroom. This idea came from the client who wanted one inside space like a tent where family members share the space.
