White Cube Mangwoo is a minimalist house located in Seoul, South Korea, designed by ArchiWorkshop. The site for ‘White Cube, Mangwoo’ is located in the east side of Seoul in South Korea, overlooking a beautiful Mangwoo Mountain. The area has been designated as a redevelopment area for a long time but recently, development was cancelled on demand by residents.

White Cube has 4 stories with a total net area of 200m2. The building consists 120m2 of total site area. The geometry of the building is a basic white monolith cubic shape. The color of the ground floor and top floor are dark grey in order to accentuate the whiteness of the cube. The neighboring buildings juxtapose very closely and windows could not be opened properly during the days and nights. In order to solve this problem, a white wall was erected to provide privacy. The sunlight reflect that wall into the interior, which then brightened the entire space.
