Passive house that has both cost-effectiveness and value for money! Green house that you can see along the Metasequoia Road in Damyang, Jeollanam-do. Surrounded by silver corrugated steel and green tiles, it gives off an exotic feel. The reason they used challenging materials for the exterior is only one! It was to build a passive house on a low budget. A couple who worked as a university professor and an instructor. After retirement, they dreamed of escaping from their stuffy apartment and living in the countryside. The wife, who thought that her dream would come true once she made it, bought land without thinking and put up the house she was living in. Since it was a house she would live in for the rest of her life, she decided to build a passive house! However, before even breaking ground, the cost of materials and labor increased, and the design cost gradually exceeded the couple’s budget. Apartment prices were falling day by day, but they didn’t sell. Since it was a house to build after retirement, there was no source of income, so the couple stopped everything for a year to avoid taking on debt. However, life felt too short to be worried. In the end, the couple decided to build a house again after saving up the husband's retirement fund and the wife's pension. The couple's total budget was 400 million won! It was a very small budget for building a passive house, but they say it's not impossible if you give up a few things. The first thing they gave up was the size of the house! They reduced the number by about 5 pyeong. In addition, instead of the luxurious bricks and red cedar that they had been eyeing for the exterior materials, they chose corrugated steel sheets and tiles. Thanks to the bold change, the house became smaller and easier to manage, and the unique materials made it the prettiest house in the neighborhood. The reason why this house is even more special is the curve! It was important to build a passive house at an extremely low cost, but the design was not overlooked either. The owner was troubled between the architect's design and the difficulties of construction. In the end, they decided to adjust the curvature! Curves, which are rarely seen in passive houses, were placed everywhere from the roof to the exterior walls and interior spaces. The beauty of the curves added to the completion of an even more special house. The most notable part of the house’s curves is the round eaves. In a passive house where heat blocking is important, they installed large windows without external blinds. This was possible thanks to the eaves. The architect calculated the monthly changes in the rising and setting of the sun. He adjusted the height and angle of the roof according to the angle of insolation. Thanks to the precise design, in the hot summer, light does not enter the house, and in the winter, sunlight enters the house, making it warm. A couple whose lives have changed 180 degrees since living in the house! The wife, who is crazy about pottery, does not leave the workshop, and the husband, who is learning how to live in a house, goes out to the yard every morning. The two people say that the second act of their lives has become warmer after building their house. We explore the passive houses of these two people who have both cost-effectiveness and value for money. Dreaming of an ultra-low-cost house in a Super-E house complex. A house built in a Super-E house complex, where all the houses in a residential development area in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, are Canadian passive houses. Today's main character is said to be the cheapest house among the certified houses in this complex... . A wife who lived in a small house in Osaka. She met a Korean husband and got married, and started living in an apartment, but she said the square space was suffocating. After deciding to live a different life, she started looking for land in earnest! The husband, who wanted to build a warm and long-lasting house with his children, decided to build a Canadian passive house called the 'Super-E House'. He said he didn't think long about it because it was a healthy wooden house that minimized environmental impact and energy consumption with eco-friendly materials. The problem was the cost! The owner wanted to build a house with high airtightness while spending as little money as possible. The first way to build it economically was to do the interior yourself! The husband left the parts that determine the function of the passive house to the experts and focused on the non-performance items. Since he was a talented person who was in charge of the animation work on the set, he finished the interior, lighting, and even the kitchen furniture in two months. Thanks to this, he saved about 70 million won! The second know-how is the 'panelization method.' The walls are made in the factory and then assembled on site, so the frame is completed in two days. It is said that this method has many advantages in terms of cost because labor costs are also reduced as the construction period is shortened. Thanks to diligent saving, the total cost of completing a house of 50 pyeong was 350 million won! The area has doubled since the time when they lived in an apartment, but their happiness has increased as much as the area has increased. The husband tried to match the budget and the lifestyle of his family. For the children, he made an attic in every room and installed a hammock where they can run around freely. It is also essential to create a common space that can be used on both the first and second floors! For the wife who likes open spaces, the first floor is a one-room structure without doors or walls. In particular, the kitchen and multipurpose room where the wife spends the most time have open shelves so that things can be seen at a glance. In order to create a sense of openness, they omitted not only opaque glass but also locking devices in the bathroom… The Hanil couple wanted to have a special house that was one of a kind in the world since they were building it anyway. To give it a Korean feel, they created a plain and water kitchen and placed 100-year-old antique furniture, while also harmoniously incorporating various Japanese props, a lattice door, and a dry toilet to create a Japanese style. They even added diagonal points throughout the house, making it a house that is stylish despite being a passive house. We explore the Canadian passive house of the two people who achieved both the house's performance and construction cost. #ArchitectureExplorationHouse #Challenge! #UltraLowCostPassiveHouseBuilding #JeonnamDamyang #CostEffectiveness #ValueForMoney #PassiveHouse #LowBudgetHouse #UltraLowCost #Retirement #400MillionRetirementPension #GyeonggiYongin #UltraLowCostHouseInSuperEHouseComplex #CanadianPassiveHouse #PanelizingConstruction #Korean-JapaneseCouple
