Gil Ki-nam and Lee Ja-yeon, who live in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province. The couple, whose hobby is looking at houses, bought the forest land because they fell in love at first sight with the low price and beautiful scenery. They just wanted to build a house... but they had to dig up rocks, lay water channels, and even do electrical work on the underground water, which was a huge task. In addition, since houses cannot be built on forest land, it took about two years just to get a building permit. After a preparation process that seemed like a long way, what kind of spaces are hidden in the pure white house built on the forest? Gil Ki-nam, the husband, wanted to design his own house like a designer. The husband designed the house so that he could utilize the space of the house efficiently. This goal was realized in various spaces. The triangular space under the stairs became a photo studio, and the room with the frameless door became a home office, which can be transformed into a space where the husband can work at any time. In addition, when the folding door in the kitchen, which was Lee Ja-yeon's dream, is wide open, it feels like being in a cafe even though they are in the house. This house was born as a 'hybrid' house that appropriately mixed the romance of each couple. "Building a house on land is just like living a human life." The husband, Gil Ki-nam, felt like a human life as he watched the process of space gradually being created on a land where there was nothing, the house being built, and the completion of the house. Perhaps because they chose the land to build the house on, the couple said that this house feels more special. In fact, they say that they made the house special with small details. As soon as you enter the front door, the round walls on both sides give an open impression, and the glass folding doors in the workroom and the bathroom with doors in two places also contribute to the openness of this house. The open feeling inside the house, just like the open view, becomes the identity of this house. The couple who bought the land they fell in love with at first sight and almost got tired before they even built the house. The couple who overcame all kinds of obstacles to get the conditions for the land to build the house tell us, "Don't buy this kind of land!" The wife, Lee Ja-yeon, said that she thought groundwater would come out if you dug the ground. From breaking rocks to purchasing utility poles, they say that only after experiencing all sorts of things can you see the things to keep in mind when buying land. Let's go and hear the story of the twists and turns behind the wonderful house. #ArchitectureExplorationHouse #Don'tBuyLandLikeThis #ExtremeHouseBuilding #Single-familyHouse #Interior
