In Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, the owner of the house, Seo Won-gak, demolished the wooden house he had lived in for about 23 years and imported a prefab modular house manufactured by a Latvian company. Prefab modular houses are completed by simply assembling or installing them on-site after the building materials are manufactured in advance at the factory. It is said that it can shorten the construction period and cost by reducing various unexpected situations such as weather and experts that are always encountered at the construction site. The owner of the house obtained various information from newspapers and architectural magazines 10 years ago. After numerous searches, he chose a prefab modular house factory located in Latvia, Europe, and made a specific contract by exchanging information through Instagram DM. Since the house culture is quite different from ours, such as the spatial layout and ondol, he shared the design drawings for a long time and built a house that was just right for his family members. This house was completed through the efforts of the owner who was full of interest and passion. The foundation of the house was constructed using the strip foundation method, which is a method of pouring a foundation plate in a narrow and long strip or band shape to support the load of the walls and columns of the building. It is characterized by low carbon consumption as concrete materials are saved. The disadvantage of lightweight wooden houses is that they are vulnerable to moisture. If air circulation is not smooth, the wood often rots. To prevent this, the owner came up with a way to raise the house 20cm above the ground. By putting an air layer under the high foundation, air is circulated and damage from rats and small animals is also prevented. In addition, Director Kim Ho-min is said to have visited another modular house construction site. Let's uncover the secret of a house built in just 7 days. #ArchitectureExplorationHouse #OverseasDirectPurchaseMountainHouse #ModularHouse #Eco-FriendlyHouse #PrefabricatedModularHouse #PassiveHouse #KimHo-minArchitect
