The Mountaintop House of Vegetarian Researchers Kang Dae-woong and Lee Yoon-seo are 'vegetarian researchers' who cook healthy food. The wife, Lee Yoon-seo, suffered from an autoimmune disease called psoriasis since she was young, and she started a vegetarian diet to live a healthier life. She is not a vegetarian now, but cooking healthily and living a healthy life are important to the couple. So naturally, they became interested in houses where they can live healthily. The husband, Kang Dae-woong, studied for 3 years to build a house without 'defects' and built the house himself. His tenacious research tendencies were reflected in the house he built. The walls of this house are unusually thick, with 5cm of external insulation added to the existing 15cm structure. This is because sufficient insulation reduces condensation and prevents damage to the structure of a wooden house. At first, the couple almost bought an old house in Gurye, but they changed their minds because it was difficult for guests to visit. In real estate, the couple only talked about the disadvantages of the land, saying that it was a place where someone else had given up on building a house, but the couple liked the land on the mountainside. However, that was the beginning of the 'hardship of buying and doing'. The 45-degree slope of the top of Buam-dong Mountain made it difficult for construction vehicles to enter, so only three construction companies refused after inspecting the site. In the end, they were able to proceed with construction by renting a parking lot on the closing day of the museum right next door. Unlike the typical house structure, the couple used the second floor as a living space and built a kitchen and dining room on the third floor. They said that it was a shame to keep the beautiful scenery that could be seen through the large windows on the third floor to just the two of them. They said that they wanted it to be an unexpected gift to those who had climbed up to the top of the mountain. Kang Dae-woong and Lee Yoon-seo, a couple who cook healthy, hearty vegetarian meals in their home. We invite you to their mountaintop home that presents a beautiful view. Ants and grasshoppers who built their homes in the rice fields Jeon Seok-mo and Hong Sa-rang, a couple who returned to Anseong to help their mother who runs a restaurant. They wanted land where their children could walk to school, but it was hard to find land they liked. Then, a real estate agent suggested that they buy a divided rice paddy. They signed a contract for the land because they liked the location and price, but it was the beginning of their hardship. Unlike the urban area with a building-to-land ratio of 60%, the rice paddy the couple bought was a natural green zone with a building area of ​​1/3 that of the urban area. This happened because they only lived in apartments and had no information. They even had to change the farmland to a plot of land, so they incurred additional costs. In addition, they had to build a house with their younger sibling without dividing it, so they incurred unexpected surveying and division costs. In order to build a house on a rice paddy, a filling process is essential. Jeon Seok-mo thought he had safely completed the filling process after being introduced to his mother’s acquaintance. However, the soil used by the company contained a lot of large crushed stones, so there was a risk that the stones buried in the ground would press on the pipes and burst. In the end, the couple had to spend more money to remove the stones with a forklift. His wife, Hong Sa-rang, had a romantic notion of a pretty house because she had not had much money as a child. The information the wife collected was for a pretty house, not a sturdy one, as the husband wanted. So the couple introduces the wife as a grasshopper and the husband as an ant. The grasshopper wife suggested everything from a slide on the stairs to installing a net by digging up the second floor, but her ant husband rejected them all. The wife realized that her husband was right only after building and living in the house. We meet the house of the ant and grasshopper couple, who built their house after going through all kinds of hardships. #ArchitectureExplorationHouse #HowFarHaveYouBuildedYourHouse? #VegetarianResearcher’sHouse #HouseOnTheTopOfMountains #WoodenHouse #Three-StoryHouse #LargeWindows #HouseBuiltInARicePaddy #AntsAndGrasshoppers
