Jayeon Town
An aerial masterplan precedent by Heta Architects for a hillside residential community that weaves low-rise housing into an existing forest landscape.
- What we like about this project
- Central communal green spaces weave between dense housing clusters right up to the forest edge.

- Geometry
- Curvilinear site roads follow the contours of a wooded slope, organizing clusters of low-rise gabled residential blocks around central green courtyards.
- Facade system
- Punched windows on multi-story wood and plaster residential volumes.
- Structural guess
- Wood frame or low-rise concrete podium with timber superstructure.
- Spatial scale
- Large-scale masterplan aerial view showing dozens of multi-family residential buildings and internal pedestrian networks.
- Lighting
- Early morning or late afternoon sunlight cast long shadows across the sloping site, highlighting the topography and roof forms.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and integrated, evoking a quiet forest village.
- Environmental context
- A dense hillside forest surrounds the masterplan, creating a secluded valley setting.
- Spatial experience
- From above, the settlement reads as an organic village embedded within a continuous forest canopy, balancing density with landscape integration.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating gabled roof modules trace the curving roadways in staggered echelon formations.
