One-Heart Mansion   

The client for this project is a junior high school principal and a retired teacher, both with interests in calligraphy and Buddhist practices. The design direction focused on qualities such as elegance, order, and a Zen-inspired aesthetic.

​

The architectural exterior features a calm gray-and-white color palette, combining cultured stone and white exposed aggregate concrete. These materials are arranged using a framing design language to define the building’s form.

​

Located across from a permanent green belt (a public park), the home is designed to draw this lush greenery into the living environment. Generous landscaping along the park-facing façade enhances this connection, while the outdoor areas are complemented by dry gardens and unique stone arrangements, enhancing the meditative quality of the home.

​

The building is oriented east–west, with the stairwell positioned on the south side. To avoid making the staircase a dark, neglected corner, the exterior wall of the stairwell is designed with vertical slatted screens, allowing natural light to penetrate and keeping the space bright.
