❚ Architectural Exploration House???? Construction Recession, Is Now a Good Time to Build a House? ❚ April 30, 2024 (Tue) EBS1 Broadcast Although it is located on the side of the road, the land is cheaper than other places. The couple, who have a similar personality of putting their minds to action right away, started looking for a house when the husband, Pil-jae, half-jokingly and half-seriously asked his wife, Hyo-jin, while watching a drama, "What if we build a house and live in a place with a view of the ocean?" Every night, they went on an online real estate nationwide tour to choose a piece of land to build a house on, and after checking the plot map with Road View, they signed a contract for their current roadside land. In 2021, the couple jumped into building a house even as the cost of building materials was rising. It was a time when many people were hesitating to build due to the rising cost of materials. Coincidentally, the price of the apartment where the couple lived doubled, so they took this opportunity to sell the apartment and borrow money to cover the construction costs. Although Mr. Piljae was well aware of the principles of design and construction, he entrusted both design and construction to one company to reduce risks that could occur during construction. This was a measure to minimize anxiety that unexpected costs could arise during the construction process. Mr. Piljae meticulously recorded the construction process, including the reason for building the house, the story of the land contract, the criteria for selecting a design firm, and the loan method, on his blog. The unexpected charm of this house, built to reduce construction costs, can be seen when you go inside. The front of the house is decorated with red bricks, but the back is finished with stucco to reduce costs. The reason the four sides were not finished with bricks was also to reduce construction costs. The courtyard was designed to be wide to avoid noise and outside views, and it faces south, allowing plenty of sunlight to enter, providing a cozy atmosphere. The owner also had to worry about the cost of landscaping, which had to be done separately. Let’s explore the house that Mr. Piljae built economically, based on his construction diary, such as building a house with a simple structure rather than a gable or sloping structure and choosing inexpensive materials for the roof and exterior walls. #ArchitectureExplorationHouse #BuildingHouse #ConstructionCostReduction #Single-familyHouse #Interior
