Reminiscent of SANNA’s Moriyama House, this residential block in Seoul brings a new lifestyle concept to a younger population more open to communal living and sharing common spaces such as living rooms, kitchens and dining areas. The block was designed to be space-efficient without compromising on the quality of lifestyle and daily routines. “The Gap House invites people who like to breath and enjoy peace of mind by escaping from their busy and complicated city life,” said the architects.
