[KOO HOUSE Museum]

KOO HOUSE Museum is a private museum exhibiting a personal collection of contemporary art & design works. Founded on the concept ‘Living with Art’, the museum breaks with the ‘white cube’ standard and expresses an entirely new approach to art museums.

Galleries are reinterpreted into rooms in a house and are curated through a personal view of how paintings, sculptures, photography & furniture can come together to present a wholly intimate perspective into the works of world’s preeminent artist’s and designer’s work.

[Architecture]

The unique concept of KOO HOUSE -a ‘Living with art’- meets Cho Minsuk(AIA) of Mass studies and completed as a space ‘One-but Many’.

This ‘house-museum,’ neither ‘private nor public,’ is located between ‘city and nature,’ on the fringe of Yangpyeong. First, imposed is a straight line along the length of the entire site, with a stream to the front, flowing parallel to a ouble height central hallway. Between the stream and the hallway is a sizable yard. These ‘indoor and outdoor’ spatial elements act as the basic framework. With the 50m hallway and the bordering yard as the base line, what starts out as a gridded plan begins to free itself from this order as a series of obscurities are imposed on the Cartesian logic.
