Silentium is a minimalist house located in South Korea, designed by Hwon Yoon. Silentium is situated in a plot for detached houses in a new housing site development district. The district follows the layout typical of new towns planned by city planners with high story apartments, groups of detached houses, and neighborhood facilities. The design of this house started with an architectural strategy for a silent exterior. A simple front defined as the concrete wall plays a key visual role by neutralizing the disorderly materials around it.
