小中庭 small courtyard <작은 안마당>


小 (small) 中 (middle) 庭 (yard)

To make the small house feel as spacious as possible, Simone Carena created a U-shaped floor plan that allows the kitchen and living room to look out onto a courtyard.

The house is full of concealed storage and clever design ideas. A window cut into the courtyard floor and framed with mirrors brings light into the cellar room below and offers a “kaleidoscopic view” of the architecture, Mr. Carena said. A tiny terrace set on top of the kitchen offers the couple and their 1-year-old son, Felice, a place to enjoy the view of Mount Inwang during the summer.
