This is a country house, one of the many farmhouses which form the typical 20th-century backdrop to most Korean towns. The houses would often be designed by the local builder and modelled on either timber- or brick-built Western houses, with little concern for the setting or for the bamboo forests. The client was not happy in this brick house as he felt it did not match the landscape. The source of the project was the drawing of a line. A line drawn in space where the built environment meets the absolute.
