LG House originates from a condition that defines the entire project: inhabiting a sloping, densely wooded site without erasing its natural character. Rather than imposing a detached platform upon the landscape, the house incorporates the terrain and existing vegetation as active elements of its organization. This approach establishes a deliberate duality: toward the street, the residence appears composed and restrained, while toward the garden it becomes open, luminous, and permeable.
The entrance façade defines the boundary between public and private through pronounced horizontal lines, deep overhangs, and a sequence of dark planes, mineral surfaces, and timber elements. The base follows the natural slope and accommodates the garage beneath the house, allowing the main domestic spaces to rise above street level. A series of floating steps leads to the entrance, transforming the ascent into a gradual transition from the exterior to the privacy of the home.
Beyond this threshold, the architecture changes character. The interiors unfold through a fluid plan, generous heights, and expansive glazed surfaces that bring daylight, tree canopies, and the changing landscape into everyday life. Views extend across multiple rooms and expand the perception of space beyond its physical boundaries, while galleries and transitional areas mediate the relationship between inside and outside.
Facing the garden, the social spaces open completely toward the swimming pool and the existing vegetation. The living room, dining area, and gathering spaces form a spatial continuum connected to the landscape, while the private rooms remain sheltered within the more enclosed volumes. At the heart of the outdoor experience, the pool incorporates a partially sunken gathering area that brings water, architecture, and garden into close proximity, creating a more intimate place within the expansive grounds.
The material palette combines exposed concrete, textured stone, dark metal cladding, glass, and timber, balancing solidity, precision, and warmth. Broad roof overhangs unify the different volumes while shading the transparent façades and emphasizing the horizontal character of the composition. LG House ultimately proposes a way of living in which architecture and nature are not treated as separate elements: the house adapts to the terrain, unfolds among the trees, and makes the landscape an essential part of domestic life.
