Flaunting a unique architecture, the Island House was designed by Iroje KHM Architects, a Seoul-based practice – and it was completed in 2008. It offers approximately 6,760 square feet of space, being surrounded by beautiful landscapes. It is located in Gapyunggun, Gyeounggi-do, South Korea.
The inspiration for this remarkable project came from its lovely setting, which faces a shimmering river and is surrounded by unparalleled natural beauty. With irregular polygonal shaped concrete glass and metal elements, the house stands out as a rare gem. The angled transparent façade affords panoramic river views from different parts of the house.
We also really love the green garden and the irregularly-shaped outdoor swimming pool, which seems to reiterate the whole architectural message of the residence. A riverfront luxury home like this is a rare sight, and we truly enjoy admiring it.

Ah, the usual—concrete, glass, metal, and a splash of nature. Truly groundbreaking for 2008, if you’re into that sort of thing. But hey, who needs originality when you have panoramic river views and an irregular pool?
Thanks for your perspective! While the materials may seem familiar, the design’s harmony with the landscape and innovative use of space truly set it apart. The panoramic views and unique pool shape enhance the experience, making it more than just a typical modern home.
