A house with a yard renovated for 100 million won. The first protagonist is a new house located in a wooden housing complex built in the American style in Jung-gu, Incheon. A young couple renovated an old house and are living there. The cost of remodeling a house with a 200-pyeong yard was only 100 million won. The husband, who became interested in home renovation thanks to this house, even changed his job… . The husband, who renovated an old house twice to run a cafe. Based on the experience he learned from others, he decided to renovate his own house this time. A place to live with two companion dogs and a baby on the way. As a young couple, the budget was small, but they wanted a house with a large yard, so they came all the way to Yeongjongdo. Although it was an old house that was 14 years old, the husband took on the challenge of direct construction, learning from his past trial and error. The theme of this house was ‘Kyoto.’ The couple, who had never traveled abroad, went to Japan for the first time after dating. The two loved the excitement of their first overseas trip and the quiet atmosphere of Kyoto. They wanted to capture the happy memories from that time in their current house and remodeled it in a Japanese style. The biggest goal is to maximize the feeling of wood! My husband wanted a cabin-like feeling, as if he were inside a log cabin. Everything from the kitchen furniture to the lighting, as well as the walls and ceiling, is finished with wood. At first glance, it all looks like expensive patterned wood, but my husband personally applied film to the walls to give it a feel. He also designed all the wooden furniture himself. To capture the Japanese sensibility, the window seats are made of tatami mats and the bathroom is made of a sitting type. Not only are the lights in a kansal pattern, but the front yard is being decorated with concrete inspired by the Zen style. This is how the Kyoto house was completed! My husband says that the interior has actually improved since building this house. He is now preparing to change jobs. My husband personally used all the tools to fix it up as perfectly as possible even with a small budget, and he acted as both the site manager and handyman. However, he saved money on the cost of fixing up the house, but he spent a whopping 50 million won on the interior. My husband, who has high standards, said that he chose expensive home appliances and furniture, as well as even the doorknobs, which are high-quality. The wife, who was blind to interior design, only found out what the products were after the house was built. She said she cried a lot because the amount of money was so shocking. Instead of a grand nameplate, the couple engraved their family names on the steps leading to the front door and planted a tree in the yard to commemorate the child’s 100th day. The husband hopes that this house will be meaningful to everyone who lives here. Thanks to the husband’s struggle, they renovated the house with a large yard for 100 million won! Let’s explore the story inside. A house built in a hurry while waiting for a subscription In Gangbuk-gu, Seoul, the second place we visited was a three-story house located in the middle of an old downtown area with densely packed buildings. But they built a tiny house on a small, square parking lot that can barely fit four cars!? The owner said that he didn’t age 10 years while building the house, but lost 10 kg. However, they say that in Seoul, it’s easier to build a house than to buy an apartment. A couple who applied for an apartment subscription in Seoul as they started their newlywed life. However, after failing repeatedly, they realized that applying for an apartment was like trying to catch a star in the sky. Apartment prices continued to rise. Even though they wanted to give up living in Seoul, they couldn’t go to a distant province because of their jobs. Then one day, the husband realized something when his wife said, “Wouldn’t it be cheaper to build a house?” and decided that if they couldn’t live in an apartment, they should build their own house. The couple came all the way to the old city center in search of their own land. The land they chose, which had a small budget, was barely big enough for a parking lot for four cars. To some, it might just be a small, rugged place, but to the couple, it was a land of opportunity. They had to save up for eight years to afford the construction costs, but they ended up doing it last year because of the skyrocketing prices. Since the land was irregularly shaped, measuring about 82.6㎡, overcoming the limitations of the land was an urgent priority. Since the narrow house had limitations in terms of floor space, they installed skylights to secure a sense of vertical space. In addition, they separated the space without walls by making the heights of the skylights and the floor heights different for each space. The space left over in the shape of the ground is used as a pantry! In the su
