ClientMadame Jeong
The client, a sincere follower of Buddhism, sought to create a nourishing Elysium of natural beauty to spend their retirement years within this, our ‘mundane sphere of reality’. The home has been divided in two by the Stone Wall. This literal and metaphoric membrane represents the conceptual partitioning of Jeongto from Yeto. Jeongto, the Buddhist concept of paradise, is represented in the home’s private space, while Yeto, the Buddhist concept of the mundane sphere of present reality, is symbolized in the public, gathering spaces. These two spaces are connected by a long hallway.
