Vintage Modus chairs by Kristian Solmer Vedel for Søren Willadsen Møbelfabrik sit at one end of the library in Wook’s studio. “For me, reading books is almost my entire daily routine,” says the architect. The building, which is divided into sections, also contains a workroom for Jinnie and a guest room. “The main thing was that the houses in this neighborhood were very small, so l thought it would be good if this building had a slightly divided structure,” says Wook. “When you enter inside, it’s one space, but the form ended up being a house with several different roof shapes.”

The open kitchen is the heart of the home—there is no living room. The island was designed by Wook Choi.

Skylights illuminate the central staircase, which has new spindles. The Disc surface mount light fixtures from In Common With cast a subtle, warm glow at night.

Bertoia side chairs and an Aplomb pendant by Foscarini complete the dining area.

Placed on the top floor, the primary suite sits below the roof's exposed wooden rafters.

On the parlor floor, ceilings reach up to 10 feet in height.
