When you think of rows and rows of tall houses with gabled roofs, you probably conjure up images of the skylines of cities like Amsterdam or Brussels. This mental image might not quite coincide with what we’re about to show you, though the description certainly matches.
Today on homify360 we are headed to South Korea, where we will be exploring a large home by DesignGuild that spans over a row of 4 successive structures, each with a gabled roof. The look does indeed feel akin to those quaint European townhouses, but this one is certainly unique in its own right. The sprawling structure is intended to serve as a house with several additional rooms to accommodate visitors and guests. The home’s design came as the result of a desire to expand the home. Living in a crowded city, however, the only way to go was up. We bet you’ve never seen anything like this house!
There is no doubt that this home’s façade is quite striking. It truly looks like a row of town houses in a quaint European city. The original home was that which lies beneath the red fencing on the second storey. The four gabled peaks represent different apartments with their own bedrooms where guests can stay undisturbed.
Inside one of the rooms on the second storey we can clearly see how many beds a single space can hold. The room is designed in minimalist style with Asian aesthetic influences. There are three beds, a sitting area, and even a small kitchen. The clerestory windows provide ample natural light.
This room features a single bed with benches by the window for sitting. The warm wooden details and plants help to make the concrete flooring feel homier. The space is simple and clean yet inviting, perfect for a guest to stay for a few days. The door leads out to the balcony with the red railing that can be seen clearly from the exterior.
Even the attics, with their sharply slanting ceilings, can accommodate guests. The rooms are quite spacious and bright thanks to the double skylights. To reach the attic, guests must use the stairs from the room below. This signifies that each section of the home is meant to be an individual guesthouse rather than being comprised of separate rooms for different guests.
While we’ve covered the variations in sleeping accommodations in the guesthouses, a true guesthouse or hostel ought to be complete with a place to eat and gather. The home includes a common space to facilitate communal interaction between guests and hosts. There are books and travel info available here, as well as a bar at the top of the stairs with a familiar red bannister.
The outdoor terrace is surrounded with lush local flora. Each guesthouse has its own raised terrace. Beneath there are more tables for dining. This image of the house shows the truly one of a kind setup used to make the home’s extension possible. The result is a multi-level set of guest homes with an urban vibe.
