The roof overhang protects the exterior of a house from strong winds, snow, ice, and rain from getting behind the siding. An overhang is also referred to as the eaves, and the underside is called a soffit. This is a modern reinterpretation of the variable space of Korean traditional homes that can be used either as a big room or as smaller individual rooms.See the types of roof overhangs such as shed, flat, awnings, pergola, gambrel and more with their different parts, costs, and the best roof overhang designs for your home.Ī roof overhang consists of how far the roof extends beyond the outside wall of a house or any type of building. Also, the interior space of the second floor has an open living room, bedroom, and kitchen which can be divided and combined flexibly with sliding doors for different needs. In winter, on the other hand, the concrete floor is made as thick as possible as a thermal mass, similar to Ondol floors of Korean traditional architecture for maximum insulation, to block the cold air from the underground. It means that the entire building allows ventilation to keep the building cool. This is similar to the principle of open living rooms in Korean traditional spaces. In detail, the pilotis on the bottom expands the surface of volume exposed to outer air to reduce the load of heat energy and allows natural ventilation in summer. The flow of space was borrowed from the method of handling the flow of air in traditional Korean homes. New technical interpretation of traditional space It is based on the post-dualistic beauty of harmony that proves its existence while hiding in nature rather than dominating nature with its shape and lines. Korean traditional spaces have pursued the shape that is not completely hidden in nature yet beautifully harmonized with surrounding nature. This is directly related to how the topographies should be interpreted in Korean traditional spaces. Should the line be hidden in nature or should the nature be displayed in the hidden line? This was the essential challenge of this land and the sincere response to the background. It draws a shape, but creates a space that shows the sky outside the shape to hide itself in nature. ![]() The shape created here contains the sky as an earthenware jar and displays the potentiality of land as a spatial substance. At this site, the land is the proof of space and everything about the substance. Gwanggyo flow low above the lot and the lot displays the entire view as if it responds to the graceful flow. Here, the mountains form lines and the lines remember the mountains in the land. The mountains penetrate the sky and the sky contains the mountains as nature. The shape of the mass resembling a concave lens was created by the parking needs and the topographical condition of the lot. ![]() To resolve this issue, the overall shape was formed to encase the lot with more curves and lifted about 2 m from the ground using pilotis for more efficient parking. It was closely related to the lifestyle of home owner to decide whether to create a garden directly accessible from the living room or to emphasize a visual garden. Ironically, the fundamental challenge was not only solving the parking problem but also creating a space for both parking and gardening to coexist. What was unique about this lot was that it was very hard to turn the car to come out of the path after more than 2 cars parked, because it was a small path only 4 m in width. ![]() It was a rare residential lot with an open view to the south at the dead end of a small path beneath Mt. I remember that it was a winter day after snowing when I first visited the site. ![]()
