※ This video is part of the August 8, 2023 broadcast of "Architecture Exploration House - A House That Travels Every Day." A house built by a mother and daughter who are fascinated by traditional Japanese accommodations, or ryokans. The mother's pursuit of functionality vs. the daughter's pursuit of style. The ups and downs of building a house - A house containing a Japanese ryokan that a mother and daughter built as their dreams In Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, there is one house that stands out among ordinary country houses. A house with a unique shape that combines modern and traditional elements. This house was built by a mother who dreamed of living in a single-family house with a large yard and a daughter who wanted to feel like she was traveling to a ryokan at home. The daughter studied abroad in an area famous for Japan's hot springs. Thanks to this, the mother and daughter traveled to Japan and fell in love with the charm of traditional inns, or ryokans. The mother and daughter joined forces to build a house with the sensibility of a Japanese ryokan in the neighborhood where the mother's maternal grandmother's house was located. The traditional Korean paper-like kitchen door perfectly recreates the feeling of opening a door at a Japanese ryokan. In addition, the open-air bath, which is a must-have for a ryokan trip, has been recreated as is. Now, the open-air bath has become a resting place for the whole family. My mother's favorite space is the kitchen with a view of the green yard. It was awkward at first because it was different from the kitchen I had imagined, but it has everything I need even though it is simple, so now it has become a space where the family can rest. However, my mother said that she often wondered about her daughter's choices during the process of building the house. A bedroom that is too small to fit a bed, a kitchen without a built-in hood and upper and lower cabinets, an unfamiliar dry toilet, and an open-air bath that I wondered if it would be used well... There were many questions at the time of construction, but now it has become a house that my mother likes more than my daughter. My daughter, who was worried that her tastes were too much in the house for her parents, thought, 'It was a good decision to build it this way' when she saw her mother happy while enjoying the open-air bath. A house built by combining the dreams of a mother and daughter. Here, the mother and daughter are living their daily lives as if they are on a trip, realizing their own fantasies. We introduce a house that contains a Japanese ryokan, which provides travel and rest to the family. ✔ Program name: Architectural Exploration House - A house where you travel every day ✔ Broadcast date: 2023.08.08 #TVGolladunDocumentary #GolladunDocumentary #Documentary #Documentary #ArchitecturalExplorationHouse #Interior #Single-family house #Real estate #Country house #Romance #Taste #Japan #Ryokan #Travel #Rest #Family #Happiness
