架构师提供的文本描述。西村建筑位于京朴宫附近的西村，是一座低层、高密度、混合用途的建筑.这个地区充满了首尔的多层美景。为了保护该地区的历史和文化氛围，我们提出了一个典型的“彩虹蛋糕”建筑，这是由DJHA开发的概念。这座三层楼的建筑纵向上兼有住宅和商业功能。

Text description provided by the architects. The West Village building, located in the West Village near Gyeongbok Palace, is a low-rise, high-density, mixed-use building. This area is full of multi-layered beauty of Seoul. To preserve historic and cultural ambience of the area, we proposed a typical ‘rainbow cake’ building, a concept developed by DJHA. This 3-story building incorporates both residential and commercial functions vertically.

为了设计一座“普通但不平凡”的建筑，我们试图创造一座植根于它所在位置的建筑，并试图不干扰这座建筑所在的历史西村地区的氛围。北面的大窗户向山望去，景色尽收眼底。布卡克山因旺。在南立面上，采用独特的砖块图案作为视觉滤镜，遮住前面建筑物的视野，同时允许阳光照射进来，这种独特的砖块图案随着时间和季节的变化而产生各种阴影图案，使空间变得丰富多彩、生机勃勃。

To design an 'ordinary but not ordinary' building, we tried to create a building rooted in its location and tried not to disturb the ambience of the historic West Village area, where the building is located. Large northern window commends a panoramic view towards Mt. Bukak and Mt. Inwang. On the southern facade, a unique brick pattern was used as a visual filter to screen the view of the building in front while allowing sunlight in.  This unique pattern of bricks produces various shadow patterns by change of the time and the season, and makes the space rich and alive.

西村的主要材料是砖块。我们试图强调材料的自然质量，避免使用太多不同的材料。同样，室内是用油漆完成的，而不是昂贵、独特的装饰材料。第二层和第三层的住宅空间被内置家具隔开，并与照明相结合。家具的上部安装了照明，间接的光线照亮了天花板。

Main material of The West Village is bricks. We attempted to emphasize the natural quality of the materials and avoid using too many different materials. Likewise, the interior was finished with paint rather than expensive, unique finish materials. Residential spaces on the 2nd and 3rd floors are partitioned by built-in furniture, which is integrated with lighting. Lightings were installed at the upper part of the furniture; the indirect light illuminates the ceilings.
