This site is located in borderline between city and mountain. The view of the front side that is the east-side is clearing up, so the urban landscape of downtown Gwangju is seen. There are mountains by the rear-side for the nature and view.

Dramatic access way from gate to entrance 
By opening transparent gate door, you enter into the beginning access of the house.  The long walkway looks like an architectural canyon. After the penetration through the under space of the upper bridge-corridor, it comes to reach the inner court that is attached to entrance.
