A man who loved architecture's levitating house. Near the town of Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, there is a brand-new white cafe on a hill in an ordinary rural village. People who mistake it for a cafe or gallery suddenly visit this house! In this extremely white house, a country man, Song Jeong-su, who lives and dies by design, and a city woman, Go Seon-gyeong, who loves pretty houses and the color white, live. The couple who own the building lived in an apartment in downtown Daejeon for the education of their three children. The husband brainwashed his wife to return to his hometown of Boeun when he got older and build a house there, and after sending all of his youngest children to college in Seoul, he finally put his long-held plan into action. The good thing about the couple's similar tastes is that they never fought while building the house. In order to build the best house, they visited houses built by famous architects and housing complexes all over the country, and conducted preliminary research on over 300 houses. The husband, who dreamed of becoming an architect when he was in school, vicariously realized his lifelong dream by having his children major in architecture and interior design. Pom-pom-sa. Beauty over convenience, a couple who valued beauty while building their house. Starting with the fact that the entire house is white, the couple’s house is full of inconveniences as a ‘family home’ inside and out. However, they say they stuck to the principle of ‘prioritizing beauty’ with the mindset of willingly paying the price if they gain something. The highlight of this house is the levitation! The entire house is raised 50cm from the ground, creating a unique atmosphere that cannot be found anywhere else. Since this is an uncommon construction method in Korea, there were twists and turns when the construction company changed in the middle,,, Let’s explore the levitation house of the husband, an architecture nerd who believes that everything is forgiven if it’s pretty. A 100-year-old house of a woman who loves design In a residential complex in a forest filled with green trees in Yongin Special City, Gyeonggi Province, there is a window-rich house with a whopping 40 windows. This is the house of Kim Min-kyung, an art school graduate who drew the blueprints herself and built this house, and Kang Dong-min, an engineering school graduate who helped his wife with the basic construction of the house. In each and every window of this house, there is a detailed plan by his wife, Min-kyung. Growing up under her father who runs an interior design business, his wife, Min-kyung, was always familiar with graph paper and pencils. After graduating from art school, she joined a construction company and worked on model house marketing planning, which also gave her a romanticism and confidence in architecture. After getting married, the couple moved into a townhouse that was already built, but they felt uncomfortable with the structure that did not fit their lifestyle and the weak insulation, so they remodeled it four times over 20 years. They spent so much time and money fixing everything that there was no place that was untouched, and then they made up their mind. They said that they would rather build a new house than do this! They say that when a couple builds a house, there are two outcomes. First, they give up on building the house, and second, they get a divorce. The wife who loved design so much that she would wake up at 2 a.m. and revise the design even after falling asleep at 10 p.m. and the husband who would tease and scold her but eventually helped her, transformed from a crazy couple to a fantastic couple, and they even completed the house and overcame the crisis of divorce. It is said that the design was not just designed on paper, but the design was revised day and night for 6 months while staying at the civil engineering foundation construction site, and the optimal customized space was completed, including the wind path, lighting, and movement lines. Not only that, but the unique exterior materials and finishing materials implemented with the sense of an art school graduate, and the sense of sublimating defects into interior design! The burning passion of the wife, Min-kyung, is embedded everywhere inside and outside the house. Let’s explore every nook and cranny of the 100-year-old dream house built by the wife, Min-kyung, who took on the design and construction supervision, and the husband, Dong-min, who silently took care of the chores such as foundation construction and permits. #Architecture Exploration House #House worthy of architects #Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do #Levitating House #Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do #House that lasts 100 years #Self-construction
