Chimney House is an extension of Laboheme that maximizes the floor area ratio within the designated site and is built to meet the building height regulation that states a four-and-a-half-story maximum height. The objective is to utilize the area to make a room underneath the attic and still allowing a view to the outdoors. The name ‘Chimney House’ refers to the main elevator circulation with which ends 2 levels above the top floor and allows the guests inside to see the surrounding view, since the elevator itself has a glass opening. The ground floor is open to the public, housing the reception, a coffee shop, and has a slanted louver roof which provides the guests inside with privacy from the surrounding main roads. The building is bordered by green mountains-shaped masses and waterscapes that work as buffer zones and softens the visual of the building. An addition to the facade is random-angled, closed balconies, with a terracotta brick texture to provide a more home-like atmosphere to the building.
