Jung Residence, 2025

Positioned to embrace secluded woods along a steep ravine, the Jung Residence is shaped as a modern sanctuary built for living in quiet connection with the forest. On the street-facing elevation, four slender windows form a composed pattern: three align at a consistent height, while a fourth drops to meet the stair landing, breaking the rhythm with intention. This asymmetry stands in deliberate contrast to the centered symmetry of the entry and window grouping below, adding light and subtle complexity without revealing the interior.

The idea of four repeats across the design, from the horizontal garage windows to a set of four tall windows at the rear. These openings frame a sweeping view of the private woods and the adjoining deck, creating a calm visual rhythm as the home opens fully to the landscape.
