A Jeju Island Gosan House Shared with Eleven Families Dreaming of Their Own Villa! As COVID-19 continues, more and more people are enjoying homecations (a compound word combining home and vacation) at home or going out to find their own space. In these days when it is uncertain whether to travel abroad or domestically, second houses, which are mobile homes or small houses built in the suburbs, are emerging as an alternative. However, many people give up on building a house because they do not have the financial means or time to build a second home. Is having a second home really that difficult? Some people have solved this problem through sharing. They say it reduces the burden and increases happiness. Let's meet these people who share their second homes in a special way. - Jeju Gosan House with 11 Homeowners, Even Happier to Live Together In Gosan-ri Village, which boasts a beautiful sunset on the western end of Jeju Island, in a neighborhood where wide fields and the open sea catch your eye, there is a house with a whopping 11 homeowners. At first glance, you might think it’s a house for 11 extended families, but Jeju Gosan House is actually a house for 11 families, a whopping 40 people. You might think it’s a huge mansion or 11 houses, but it’s a house with a small studio-sized annex and a main building that’s just the right size for a family of three. Let’s find out how the 11 families live in this house, which seems barely enough for 11 people, let alone 40, through the broadcast. One of the homeowners, Kang Mi-seon, is the one who brought the 11 families together and is a professor who teaches architecture at a university. He wanted to buy and renovate a house that still retained the original form of a Jeju folk house, including the inner and outer streets and iron curtains, but he was having a hard time due to financial circumstances. Then, he thought about buying it together and putting it into practice. He gathered people together in just one week, bought the house, and renovated it over the course of a year. Misun says that she has learned how to find joy and leisure and share together through Gosanjip over the past four years. She has something she wants to say to those who want to try a shared villa. Let's go find a happy house that grows bigger the more you use it together. We will visit people who have renovated old houses and created shared villas. ✔ Program name: Architectural Exploration House - Old houses become shared villas ✔ Broadcast date: 2021.02.23
