Check out Korea-based Chae Pereira Architects‘ latest residential project situated in the crowded urban neighborhood of Sangsu. The neighborhood, which is crowded by slum houses weaving around little alleys, provides a “stimulating landscape both socially and physically” which the architects took aspects of the existing houses to inform their design strategy. The recycled elements of the surrounding houses, specifically their corrugated panel roofs, in addition to Sangsu’s power plant, inspired the architects to experiment with a layer of translucent polycarbonate fixed on a regular steel frame to show the 13MM aluminum-coated insulation and circulations spaces.
