Brighton N40 is a district-typed-luxury residences with the concept of ‘Urban House with Modern Heritage’ located in the center of Gangnam, Seoul.
The site is highly valued as a modern residential district created in 1900s around the park, and the project aims to respect and define the modern heritage of Seoul living through the project. The complex provides wide ranges of unit selections for different groups of residents. The designer created the gallery house where the unit becomes a light-filled space for residents to reflect their lifestyle more freely while carefully selecting materials and detailing of the house.
It is a luxury urban housing that carries a modern heritage of Seoul living. Our idea was to create a gallery like house where house itself stays minimal and quite for residents to reflect their lifestyles, and their possessions such as furniture and even a little object tells its own story in the space.
The ‘Gallery House’ is a design that can be applied to residential units so that the taste and color of residents’ lives can become the center of the living space where the use and atmosphere of the residential space can be changed according to the residents. It is a new type of residential space composed of spaces of various hierarchies by redefining the size and composition of the resident-centered space in order to break away from the layout and design of the existing typical apartment complex and to contain the changing use of housing and various forms of life. The house is planned to fulfill the functional needs for residents' daily life. For example, the unit provides different types of storages for various occasions- pantry, dressroom, general storage, temperature controlled storages, etc. By carefully sizing the functional spaces such as storages and back kitchen area, the residents are able to utilize the entire space efficiently and freely.
The typical luxury residences in urban areas tends to provide units that need to be re-designed and constructed in order to fit residents' expectations because it is either too bare or "designed" with unnecessary elements too much. What makes the project unique is that the design aims for residents to inhabit the space right away with their own lifestyles and aesthetic preferences reflected in the house instead of housing itself being the main character of their life.

‘브라이튼 N40’는 서울 강남 중심부에 위치한 ‘모던 헤리티지를 담은 어반 하우스’라는 콘셉트를 기반으로 설계된 고급 주거 단지다. 1900년대에 지어진 공원을 중심으로 형성되어 그 존재만으로도 높은 가치를 지니고 있으며, 서울의 현대적인 삶의 유산을 존중하고 이를 새롭게 해석하려는 시도를 담고 있는 곳이다. 이를 바탕으로 다양한 주거 형태를 통해 여러 입주민들이 각자가 지닌 스타일을 자연스럽게 드러내고 표현할 수 있는 공간을 구상했다. 인테그는 각 유닛을 채광이 풍부한 갤러리와 같은 공간으로 만들었고, 소재와 디테일을 세심하게 살펴 감각적인 디자인을 완성했다. 브라이튼 N40는 주거 공간을 미니멀하고 간결하게 유지해 거주자들이 자신만의 라이프스타일을 그 안에 담아내고, 가구와 작은 소품을 통해 각 집의 스토리를 담아낼 수 있도록 했다. ‘갤러리 하우스’는 거주자의 취향과 색채를 집의 중심에 두고, 각자의 생활 방식에 맞게 공간을 자유롭게 활용하고 분위기를 선택해 바꿀 수 있도록 설계된 주거 공간이다. 기존의 획일적인 아파트 단지의 배치와 디자인에서 벗어나 변화하는 주거 형태와 다양한 생활 방식을 받아들이기 위해 공간의 크기와 구성을 거주자 중심으로 새롭게 정의했다. 이를 통해 다양한 분위기와 성격을 가진 공간들이 어우러진 새로운 집의 모습을 제시했다. 일상적으로 사용하는 공간의 기능적인 요소도 섬세하게 살폈다. 팬트리와 드레스룸, 기본 수납공간은 물론 온도 조절이 가능한 특별 수납공간 등 여러 용도에 알맞은 다양한 공간을 마련했다. 보조 주방 같은 생활에 편리한 공간들도 설계해 전체 공간을 한층 효율적이고 자유롭게 활용할 수 있도록 했다. 도심의 일반적인 고급 주거 단지는 너무 비어 있거나, 불필요한 요소들이 과도하게 꾸며져 재설계나 리모델링이 필요한 경우가 종종 발생한다. 하지만 브라이튼 N40는 거주자가 자신의 라이프스타일을 그대로 반영하고 누릴 수 있도록 공간을 설계했다는 점에서 큰 차별점을 갖고 있다. 집이 삶을 규정짓는 것이 아니라 사람이 공간을 주도적으로 완성해 가는 집을 추구한 디자인이라 할 수 있다.
