INTERSTELLA PUZZLE

This design composes the site using basic geometric forms, evoking the fundamental essence of the universe. Programs that demand specific architectural forms—such as apartment screening walls for privacy, parking shelters, or dome-shaped observatories—are reduced to pure geometric shapes. These simplified volumes are arranged across the site, each maintaining its own identity while contributing to the overall composition.

The triangular masses reconnect fragmented ridgelines of the mountain, while also blocking undesirable views from the adjacent apartment complex. Programs requiring privacy or minimal visibility—like utility rooms—are housed within these solid forms.

Each structure is treated as an independent mass. The domes, aligned along the eastern edge, offer views of both the night sky and Mount Yongma, allowing visitors to engage with the cosmos and the mountain landscape simultaneously. The placement encourages curiosity and spatial intimacy, resembling a puzzle of planetary elements scattered across the terrain.
