perched upon high ground, the 'panorama house' by seoul-based architecture practice moon hoon overlooks breathtaking
vistas of yangcheong-ri, korea. an angled facade with various sized windows frames the encompassing suburb, 
fluctuated for diverse perspectives. intended for a family with four children, large by contemporary standards, the home is arranged
within a linear footprint with an upper and lower spatial organization. a central multifunctional area features a large wooden
staircase which integrates bookshelves, reading nooks, cinema seating oriented towards a projection screen and slide for 
a quick and fun method maneuvering through the interior. this element brings a dynamic energy to the dwelling, used by both children
and adults alike.

the ground level kitchen and dining area are of highest importance to the family, while the tv has been pushed into a small living room.
a second floor attic serves as a playroom with the best outlook toward the landscape. traditional heated floors draw inhabitants
to sit on the floor, influencing the lower positioning of windows in relation to an individual's anticipated viewpoints.
