The massive home designed for the movie Parasite was considered one of the most cinematic houses of the year, despite the fact that it didn’t take the Oscar home. Production designer Lee Ha-jun designed the modern and minimalist home on an outdoor lot at the studio from the ground zero. The most important factor about this home was that it was supposed to be surrounded by glass and sit on wide spaces, to improve shooting conditions.
