Casamoro Condominiums are set on the northern bank of the Han River, there are three units, with views of the river and more specifically, each unit corresponds to a specific terrain feature on the opposite bank. Parking space in on the second level and immediately offers a pleasant view of the river. The condominium units are then elevated above, allowing for added privacy and enhanced views.

The floating units reveal a communal café space below with access to the waterfront. The orientation of the individual units and elevated presence provides secure privacy for personal and intimate leisure. A country sanctuary for those who wish for a peaceful meditative escape from the city, nestled with in residential suburb, the Casamoro condominiums offers unparallel views and modern texture.

out of context. Modern, but… This architectural solution would fit in the CITY, but not in the country or village.

INITIAL IDEA WAS GREAT BUT IT’S TRU THAT IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO MAKE THAT IDEA GROW AND BE MATURE…..

Massing seems very Steven Holl to me. I’d bet 4:1 odds the architect interned for him.

I’m actually partial to smaller living spaces, but these just don’t work in my opinion. Also looks cheap.
