At 9:55​ p.m. on November 12, the episode ‘Architectural Exploration House -⁣ Leaving Seoul to Build a‌ Home for Youth’ will be broadcast on EBS1.⁣

In Goseong, Gangwon-do, there lives the old house repair king who repaired not one, but three old houses? The owner personally renovated the second and third⁣ houses, starting with the cute first house, which was initially intended to be used as a studio but is now operated as⁤ a cafe. It ‍is said that he was captivated by the charm of the old prison… The love he shows⁣ for the old‍ prison⁢ is extraordinary.

Everything about the ‍green roof house, the first⁣ house built​ with a tent set up in the kitchen of a village house, is special. The rafters resemble bare bones and the earthen walls are finished in the shape of⁣ raw handprints. This is a⁢ house where you can feel the artistic sense of the owner, who is also⁢ a ceramics artist. ‍The owners of No. 2 and No. 3, which ‌were built later, were also ‌unique. In‍ particular, the second house,⁤ a red brick house, was renovated as a space just for the owner ​and his wife, so it is a house that the couple put a lot of blood,​ sweat and⁤ tears into from start to finish. The second house was created by combining⁢ retro sensibility and modern style. ⁣A temporary wall on the second floor was opened up and⁣ made into a regular⁢ bed to enhance the sense of space, ⁣and the flooded basement was⁤ made into a ⁣nice ‌studio by exposing the interior walls.
Taking advantage of his experience of repairing two houses, the last⁤ house he repaired, No. 3, ‌also‌ catches the eye. From the unexpected space that appears behind the temporary wall to the bedroom with an open sky. The owner of the⁢ building repaired three old houses ‌without any problems. He said that there‍ was another⁤ real hardship… The​ two-story ​house he bought without knowing⁢ was‍ turned ⁢out to be an empty lot? There was a two-story house that was in joint names. in order to relieve the blindness, I had no choice but to ⁣purchase a small house ⁤that ⁣is currently being used as the third house. The owner and his wife said that it was more troublesome to unravel the old building than to repair it. Still, ⁢the efforts made so far are finally being ‍seen, and the‍ owner’s husband​ is currently spending leisurely time making pottery and his wife making coffee, with the sea as their friend.

Why did⁢ a young building owner couple abandon their stable life in Seoul and come⁤ down to Goseong?⁣ Despite the eventful times, the three old houses were eventually completed. ⁣ Let’s explore this.

At the ‌top of ​a mountain⁣ in Hongcheon, Gangwon-do, there‍ is a house ‍with windows that are 30 meters long on ‍the ⁤front and back? It is said to be a house that is hidden in the⁢ mountains, but ⁢stands out ‌at a glance due to the overwhelming size⁢ of the window… It is not a house, ⁢but a⁤ house⁣ that looks more like ​a cafe or studio. Who is the builder?

The owners of this house are Sang-hoon and his wife ⁢Gyu-ri, who ‌work as idol costume designers. He started building a house in ⁢the mountains despite his young age! As expected ​from ⁢the ​owner who‍ works as a designer, the house is also sensuous… When you open the front door ⁤and ​enter, it is not the front door that greets you, but a courtyard, ‍giving⁣ a twist. The ‌interior is even more special. The first floor,⁢ measuring 30 pyeong, has been completely stripped without any⁣ space distinction, and four large circular pillars have been installed to add to the safety‍ of the structure. And even the full⁣ windows. It’s a three-tong house.⁢
In‍ addition, ⁢the spacious deck where you can exercise while⁣ looking‍ at the ​natural scenery is ‌comparable to any other gym. As the house is located at the top of a mountain, the owner installed large skylights above the ⁢stairs and in the bathroom, allowing the owner to enjoy nature that cannot be experienced in the ‍city. The two are‌ living a healing life by filling the empty spaces in their home with carbonized wood furniture and glass that they made together.

However, finding a place for this house ⁤was ⁢not easy. What they want is the ​famous site of Baesan Imsu. It was‌ the grave of my grandmother who‍ died from a ‌snakebite! Although ‍it may be scary, the couple believes​ that‌ building a house has added to their unforgettable memories. Building a house became⁤ an ‌unforgettable and happy memory for them.

Sang-hoon, who lived a busy ⁢life in the city, but decided to build his own real home to be happy, and his wife, Gyu-ri,⁣ who boldly gave up her stable job as a teacher to explore the life she wanted. At Samtongjip, where⁣ nature is something you could never find in Seoul, you are discovering what true happiness is.

The process of⁢ decorating their real⁤ home, ⁢which they could⁤ not do in a 12-pyeong studio apartment in a city with many restrictions, begins. A house built by a young couple to find happiness early on. Let’s explore this.

Time.news Interview: Architectural Visionaries in the Heart of Gangwon-do

Editor: Welcome to another insightful segment ​of Time.news. Today, we have‍ a special guest, Park Yu-mi, an expert ‍in architectural design and renovation. Park,‍ thank you for joining us!

Park Yu-mi: Thank you for having me! I’m excited to discuss the unique architectural gems of Gangwon-do.

Editor: Let’s dive right in! I ⁤recently‌ read about some fascinating projects in Goseong that caught my attention—especially ⁢the story of the ⁢”old house‌ repair​ king.” Can you share what makes his work so remarkable?

Park Yu-mi: Absolutely! The owner’s passion for renovating ⁣old ‌houses reflects a deep appreciation for history and craftsmanship. His journey, starting with a charming⁢ little ‌home he converted into‍ a café, showcases not just‍ technical skills but ⁣a genuine love for each space. Each renovation isn’t just about​ restoration; it’s about telling ‌a story that‌ respects ⁢the past while allowing for contemporary use.

Editor: I find it fascinating that he transformed an old prison into ​such a welcoming space. How do you see the blend of history and modern function in ⁢architectural design?

Park Yu-mi: That’s a great question!​ Blending history with modern function can often lead to innovative designs. For example, in the first⁢ house, the raw earthen walls shape ⁤a tactile experience that contrasts beautifully ⁢with more contemporary elements.‌ This juxtaposition enriches both the aesthetic and emotional value of​ the space, ‍inviting occupants to form a connection with their⁢ environment.

Editor: Speaking of connections, I read about how ⁣the second house was designed specifically​ for the owner’s ⁣couple’s intimate ⁤life and creativity. What can you ‌tell us about personalizing spaces in home design?

Park Yu-mi: Personalization is crucial! The second house brilliantly combines retro charm with modern application—a reflection of the couple’s character. By customizing their living space to suit their lifestyle, they create⁢ an environment that boosts their daily lives. The integration of elements like the spacious studio in the basement shows how thoughtful design can‍ enhance creativity.

Editor: ​It sounds like the design process involves a lot of trial and error, as you pointed out earlier ⁣regarding‌ the third house’s ⁣unexpected challenges. How ⁣important is adaptability in architectural design?

Park ⁤Yu-mi: Extremely important! ‌Adaptability allows designers to⁣ respond to unforeseen challenges effectively.⁣ The ability to pivot when faced with unexpected issues—like transforming an empty lot into a desirable space—demonstrates creative problem-solving.⁤ This adaptability not only enhances the physical structure but also cultivates resilience in ‍the ‌homeowners’ journey.

Editor: Now, moving beyond Goseong, you mentioned a stunning ⁤house in Hongcheon with those awe-inspiring 30-meter windows. What do you think this​ design communicates about‍ the relationship between architecture and‍ nature?

Park Yu-mi: The expansive ⁢windows serve​ as a bridge between the indoors⁤ and the natural world, allowing sunlight to flood the space while providing breathtaking‍ views. It reflects a philosophy⁤ of living​ harmoniously with the environment. For homeowners like Sang-hoon and Gyu-ri, their design choice signifies⁤ a desire to create a sanctuary that invites nature in—transforming the house into a captivating retreat rather than​ merely a building.

Editor: It’s clear that these ⁤residences are not just‍ structures‍ but living art forms imbued with ⁢passion and creativity. So, what message do you hope audiences take away from these architectural explorations?

Park Yu-mi: I hope​ people realize ‍that architecture can symbolize personal narrative and cultural ⁣heritage. These stories inspire us to appreciate the spaces we ⁢inhabit, ​encouraging ⁣a deeper connection with our surroundings. They remind us that home⁢ is not just a physical‌ space; it’s where life unfolds creatively ⁤and meaningfully.

Editor: Thank you, Park Yu-mi, for sharing your insights! It’s been enlightening ‍to explore the interplay between history, creativity, and personal storytelling in‍ architecture. We look forward to your next contribution!

Park Yu-mi: Thank you‌ for​ having me! I look forward to more⁤ discussions about the influence of architecture on our lives.
