A Moscow Apartment Reinterprets the Architecture of a Korean Hanok

Direct midday sun falls on one side of this 1,800-square-foot apartment, and Inga Kordya designed the living room around it. The custom shutter doors are made from tinted oak, built to the proportions of traditional Korean doors and fitted with brass handles shaped like eight-petal flowers. Closed, they convert a hard beam into a pattern of intervals across the floor. The mechanism draws from the same principle used in a hanok, where changhoji—mulberry paper stretched over a wooden lattice—diffuses daylight into an even wash before it enters the room.
