Earth House By BCHO

Bury oneself deeper into the earth seeking architects not only European and American, and Asian. And they have this deep philosophical grounds. The team of architects BCHO built this house, recessed into the ground, in Seoul. The project is called "Earth House" and was designed in honor of the Korean poet Yoon Dung-dy (Yoon Dong-joo), who wrote beautiful poems about heaven, earth and stars.
We lined with concrete housing, there are two, familiar to Asia, patio with earthen floors, which are connected all the rooms. The house has a small kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom with a wooden tub and toilet. The project - the idea of the relationship between man and the microcosm. Probably lying (or sitting) underground man is particularly acute fragility of its existence, and therefore all life.
