Existential Pilgrimage Space - The Meditation Chapel is less a place for traditional worship within an urban community and more a sanctuary for solitary individuals to savor their existence before the divine in nature, essentially a retreat from the city. It originated from the request for a small prayer space for these pilgrims. Hence, rather than mimicking the form of minimalistic architecture, which aims to strip everything down, the architect opted for functional simplicity, which is faithful to the role of a vessel that can hold the visitor's existence.

A housing area that was built on land where generations have been around for 50 years was newly fixed. It is a village in Jecheon, Chungcheongbuk-do that is now called ‘Goam-dong’ and the former name of the area was Gorami (Goremi) Village. A married couple is the building owner and they had been residing at an apartment in Bundang, Seongnam, and were used to city life because they engaged in active social activities. Then, the male owner had to take care of his elderly mother so they moved to Jecheon 5 years ago to plant beans and omija fruits on land that is over 2,500 pyeong in size. The female owner is running a daycare center and still lives in the apartment, but she comes to the Gorami home on the weekends so they are a weekend couple.
