※ This video is part of <Architecture Exploration House - We Expanded an Old House> broadcast on March 29, 2022. Seoul, vertical expansion in the city center! What are the points of interest in Yeohunjae? A residential area where old houses of different periods are gathered in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul! There is a house that has had a second youth through 'expansion'. The old house built in 1988 was reborn by the owner couple. The first and second floors were repaired to reinforce the interior that was lacking, and by expanding the third floor, a rooftop garden and research lab were born! The couple who liquidated their long-time apartment life and expanded their old house. Why did they decide to live in a house? The owner couple valued the value of life more than asset value. They live a satisfying life in Yeohunjae, which is called 'a house where we are happy together'. Pay attention here! We prepared it so that both the occupants and the viewers can enjoy it. Three points to appreciate Yeohunjae! First, vertical expansion. In urban areas where land area is insufficient compared to suburban areas, the answer to expansion is definitely 'vertical expansion'. The building owner couple had a headache considering the building coverage ratio, floor area ratio, etc. These unfamiliar words may make you hesitate to expand. But worry no more! It won't be difficult if you are with the first expansion instructor, Director Lim Hyeong-nam. Everything about expansion that contains only the necessary information! You can't help but pay attention. What on earth is the reason the building owner couple created a space without a space? Second, the external staircase. The external iron staircase, which is called the signature of Yeohunjae, catches the eye even from afar. The iron staircase not only has an aesthetic effect on the exterior, but also plays a role in supporting the house. "The family lives on the first to third floors, so why did they build an external staircase?" The answer to this question appears in the next point. Third, it is a life of living separately but together. The first floor is used by the building owner couple, the second floor by the building owner couple's children, and the third floor by the building owner couple as a study. They overcame the inconvenience of not having separate spaces when living in an apartment. The characteristic feature is that the same space is decorated differently to suit the lifestyles of the generations living on each floor. In particular, the interior of the second floor may evoke strong sympathy from the 2030 generation! The couple, who are current professors of media communication, spend their youthful days communicating with their MZ generation children through SNS. The family's quality of life has improved as much as their house has regained vitality. Although they experienced trial and error due to unexpected problems during the extension, they say that their attachment to the house has grown as much as the difficulties. The couple who own the building have overcome the difficult task of 'expansion in the city center'. You can see the appearance of the house 'Yeoheunjae' that they will show us through the broadcast. ✔ Program name: Architectural Exploration House - We extended an old house ✔ Broadcast date: 2022.03.29
