Today, the 26th (Tuesday) at 10:50 PM, the ‘Architectural Exploration House’ and ‘Dream House Built in a Famous Site’ episode will be broadcast on EBS1TV. Following the story of how it became a famous house after building it after Maeng Sa-seong’s old house, which is considered the best north-facing house, we reveal the story of almost building a house on the bare land of Yeongwol 20 years ago.
A Western-style house resembling an old house built by the eldest grandson
Today we are looking for a house built in a famous spot. The first house is Asan, Chungcheongnam-do, where Maeng Sa-seong’s old house, which is considered the best north-facing house, is located. Let’s go see the houses of Maeng Kang-ryeol, the 23rd grandson of Maeng Sa-seong, and Kim Min-seon, the 23rd eldest son of Maeng Sa-seong, who have been transformed into a famous house along with Maeng Sa-seong’s old house, which is considered one of the most famous houses!
Maeng Sa-seong’s old house is also well-known as the site of many famous writers. The reason why today’s house is closely related to Maeng Sa-seong’s old house is because today’s owner, Maeng Kang-ryeol, actually spent his childhood in this old house. In addition, after Kang Gang-do’s marriage, his family also lived together under Maeng Sa-seong’s old house for over a dozen years.
Perhaps it was thanks to that energy that the owner’s 23rd grandson, Maeng Kang-ryeol, retired as the principal of a foreign language high school, and the 23rd grandson, Kim Min-seon, who was over 50 years old, graduated from college and graduate school at the top of his class. Both his daughter and son-in-law are university professors. The Jongson couple, who have many memories of the old house, waited 20 years for land to come up to build a house around the old house built in a famous place. The reason is that I definitely wanted to return to my hometown where I was born and raised, and build a house on the land closest to my old house and live there.
The point of this house is that it resembles Maeng Sa-seong’s old house, which was built on the site of a famous shrine. The exterior corrugated concrete is reminiscent of an earthen wall, and the color of the exterior wall is almost similar to that of the old house. Rumor has it that in order to find the most similar color, the work team mixed the most similar colors on site and began work.
Before construction, it was not a square piece of land suitable for building a house, but thanks to the circular courtyard that resembles the curve of the roof of Maeng Sa-seong’s old house, it was able to hide what it did not want to see from view and open up what it wanted to see, making it a great place.
Thanks to the circular courtyard that resembles the curve of the roof of Maeng Sa-seong’s old house, we are introducing a Western-style house that resembles a hanok, which has become a famous place by hiding what you don’t want to see from view and opening up what you want to see.
A real mud house built on the land I saw in my dream
The second house is Yeongwol, Gangwon-do. 20 years ago, her wife, Misuk, purchased the current land, firmly believing that it was the land that the monk in her dream had given her. Even though it was a deserted land, is this Mureung Island? The scenery you want is basic. Introducing a mud house built with rammed earth, with exposed mud walls rather than exposed concrete.
In fact, it was a land that everyone, from famous scholars to monks, had visited and said that it was a vibrant place. However, at the time of signing the contract, the purchase was made under the condition of opening an access road, but due to a change in ownership, the house was almost built on empty land?! Still, since they had been living in a village 20 years ago by setting up a farmhouse, a neighbor who knew the story of the owner couple willingly sold his land, so they were able to build a bridge across the stream and a steep access road. The couple said they had a lot of trouble even before building their house. But the real story started when we started building mud houses.
His wife, Mi-sook, also participated in building the mud house, helping her husband, In-hwan, who thought that his house would be made of mud. However, while others say they build a house in 3 to 4 months, our house took over a year to build, so we secretly had a hard time. However, the reason why this was inevitable was because of the construction method of directly compacting the soil.
If 30cm is compacted, the height of the piled soil is only 7cm. I would never have been able to do it if someone else had asked me to do it, but it was possible because it was my home. Her husband, Mr. Inhwan, lost 14 kg during construction and said it was so hard that his arms would tremble when he lay down to sleep at night. However, the exposed earthen house was chosen because it is an eco-friendly construction method that is good for people. In the end, sprouts sprouted from the mud wall.
The couple believes that the reason why their eldest son, who seemed like they would never get married, and their second son all got married the year the mud house was completed was because of the house they built in a famous location. Let’s take a look at the exposed mud-walled house built by the couple.
