Text description provided by the architects. Micro housing K is a tiny housing which built on small site(74㎡). After applying for building to land ratio, there was left only 30㎡ for the buildable area. The architect must put essential programs contendingly on the limited area and the process was started from the first encounter with the site of the project. A small site was beside an elementary school and there was an old stationery store that became known as the longest term store in its town nearby. The store was 50 years old building, addition, it was extended thoughtlessly and illegally. The architect had to recall some design methods that can not demolish old memory of alumni of the school and village people. Like any old low rise downtown area in Seoul, his project site had complex relations with adjacent sites and it was a cause of difficulty of removal from the old store. And it had a slight slope on its long edge, so architect had to have a method of application for slope inclined site.
