‘Can We Live Together in the House I Built My Own?’ will air on EBS1 at 9:55 PM on September 3rd.
A wife’s wing house built for her husband
Incheon Ganghwa, the first house had not one, but four wings!? It is said that the deep and pointed eaves of the triangle were used to represent airplane wings, but in fact, this house contained the wife’s efforts to win her husband’s heart.
My wife dreamed of a second act in life after moving to the countryside. She wanted a life in the countryside where she could step on the ground, not an apartment where the door was a cliff. However, my husband was a city man to the core. My wife, who was just watching what he said, thought she would never be able to build a house in her life, so she gave up on persuading him and went ahead with building a house.
Although it started out so recklessly, the wife, who dreamed of a space to live together rather than alone, built a house with her heart for her husband. She expressed her heart by making a roof in the shape of an airplane wing for him, who spent more time in the sky than on the ground while working in the trade business. The house with such a unique exterior was born, and the interior is no joke either.
The first thing you see when you enter the front door is the huge spiral staircase, the ceilings that are all different heights that reveal the diagonal lines of the roof, the study that follows the terrain, and the triangular bathroom with a skylight. You can’t find anything ordinary even if you look hard enough… . My wife accepted all the unique designs that would normally be surprising. The reason she trusted the architect’s boldness was to not age 10 years. The house construction started amidst opposition. My wife, who was busy with work and couldn’t visit the construction site often, asked the architect for only one thing. That was to build a ‘house that would make you 10 years younger.’ Since she couldn’t worry about it anyway, my wife’s decision to trust the experts completely instilled passion in the architect. Thanks to her, a unique house that you can’t see anywhere else was completed.
The husband, who declared that he would run away from home, was against it, but in reality, he felt uncomfortable just thinking about a house without his wife. In the end, he started living in the country, crying and eating mustard… At some point, he got used to the house, and now he goes out to the garden with a hoe every weekend. The wife, who knew her husband’s heart, gave him the sunniest and widest space in the house. She prays that he will be able to fully relax in a place surrounded by trees and that his hatred for the house will subside. Fortunately, thanks to the grandchildren who visit every weekend after building the house, her husband’s feelings have softened a lot.
A tense confrontation between a wife who is happy with her country life, building a house and tending a garden away from the city, and a husband who cannot understand this life at all! We explore the wings of these two people.
The dream of being content with poverty, but the reality is a different dream(?)
In Jecheon, Chungbuk, a house built in a remote area with a view of Cheongpung Lake in order to enjoy a life of poverty in a place with a beautiful view. The husband, who bought the land to build a small hut for his 5th-degree relative, built a three-story palace-like house despite his wife’s dissuasion…
The client worked as a doctor of oriental medicine in the metropolitan area. However, he wanted to live in nature rather than in the forest of urban buildings, so he searched for land here and there. Then he met Cheongpungho, an inland sea, and fell in love at first sight… However, he was too young to retire. He tried to be satisfied with building a small house to heal every weekend, but when he actually came down and lived there, he changed his mind.
I thought I could live in a small space like a cabin, but my husband started dreaming of economic activity in the countryside. He even built a Korean medicine clinic in a remote area where there were no guests. However, human greed is endless! In the end, a large three-story building was built that included a house for my husband to stay in, a Korean medicine clinic, and a nursing facility. In addition, he decorated a rooftop cafe, saying that he would fulfill his dream of living in the countryside, and he was so into architecture that he built a deck, a drain, and even stone steps himself! Now, he is building a forest shelter in a place with a good view.
However, the wife could not just sit back and watch all this. She liked the comfortable city life and had no intention of moving to the countryside. She could not stand her husband’s growing greed, so much so that she even declared divorce. They barely agreed to live as a weekend couple.
The husband, who has worked for his family all his life, wants to achieve his last dream as a doctor of Oriental medicine. Even the children support their father’s challenge, so now the wife has decided to help her husband. The house is too big for her to manage alone, so she comes down to the countryside every weekend to do some cleaning work. Although she grumbles a little, she enjoys sitting in a place with a nice view and looking at the lake with her husband. The husband also wants to repay his wife’s love by building a house for them to live together according to her taste.
We explore the house of Dongsangimong, built with coaxing and appeasing the couple, despite their spouse’s opposition, dreaming of a life of comfort and contentment.
