CASA CABANA
A question ‘What kind of house will we live in?’ is concluded by an answer ‘How should we live?’. Casa Cabana is a house which contains the lifestyle as it is that clients want to have. Concentrating on the clients’taste and requirements, 100A associates designed this house as their own perfect house.
Located in the outskirts of Seoul, Casa Cabana is a home for a couple with two children. They who like to travel, have accumulated ideas about the house they want to have, while experiencing numerous hotels overseas. The space they want to have has different type from the common private houses that people can usually recall. It should give them a feeling to travel as a space like resort in the downtown.
Before designing, 100A associates imagined a boutique hotel only for them. They intended to build a house to show unique lifestyle and also a peculiar house where the clients could enjoy their leisure time to the full. Accordingly, 100A associates used various materials and color senses, differently from the existing tendency that they have aimed at designing only with minimum elements. In particular, an unique pattern made of bricks piled on the simple exterior is in harmony with nature and at the same time reveals the clients’individuality as it is.
Color sense, form, and lighting fixture which fill up the interior of Casa Cabana also keep an atmosphere of boutique hotel. It is very different from that of cozy and warm house. It is a result to apply new and luxurious decorations and details. This house consists of 4 floors; the first basement created as a hotel reception, the first floor like a banquet hall, the second with the couple’s bedroom and lounge bar, and the third with children’s bedrooms. The division by floor provides the feeling like that one enters a lobby, experiences entertainments and stays at the guest room.
