Glitter Hall

In Yeongwol, Gangwon Province, a church built more than 30 years ago had long stood vacant between two narrow alleys. Its original brick form had gradually been obscured by a series of later alterations such as a metal roof and exterior steel stairs. Glitter Hall retains the existing structural frame while removing these additions and reorganizing the interior. The former church is transformed into a mixed-use building containing a home for a family of four, along with a café and mathematics academy operated by the family. The name of the project, "hall" reflects the project’s intended relationship with its surroundings. Although privately owned, the building remains open enough for neighbors, students, and visitors to enter,... More

Automotive center in Vilkpėdė

The expressive shape of the plot inspired an unconventional yet very clear and simple idea for a solution.

Haus in Erl

The house in Erl is in a residential area with one house after the next. The property has a slight slope that rises from west to east.
