This small and modest chapel was built on Father Thomas Choi's birthplace (1821-1861). In 2016, the Vatican Church officially proclaimed Father Thomas Choi as a ‘venerable’ figure. The chapel is a modern interpretation of the Jungnimgul Cave, where he spent his final years. It functions as a place that invites all visitors, regardless of faith, to participate in moments of self-reflection.

‘Suitable Farmhouse' is a villa for a mid 40 year old couple who decided to return to their hometown to live with their 80 year-old mother. The villa is intended to provide two individual households under one roof because each party has been upholding their own lifestyles for a long time. Two main private spaces are designed as two independent studios and they are located in opposite corners of the house. The mother has an active lifestyle, where she frequently comes and goes, while the couple is more introverted and reclusive, preferring to stay home, cook, and watch movies. The mother enjoys spending the majority of her time tending to the garden, while the couple enjoys inviting guests with whom to cook and entertain. These two varying sets of influence help to shape the design of this farmhouse.
