※ This video is part of <Architecture Exploration House - What kind of house do architects live in?> broadcast on September 26, 2023. This time, we introduce the stories of the owners who appeared as building owners, not architects! Director Ten, who took on the challenge of renovating an old house in Seoul. Stone floors that appear when you open the main door, tropical plants planted directly in the soil by breaking the floor, and even a glass ceiling built with the dream of a greenhouse!? Let's hear about Director Ten's challenge that combines the two cultures of Germany and Korea. - The house of architect Daniel Tendler, who loves Hanok A neighborhood with a refined exterior that still retains the charm of Seoul, on the sunny south side of Samgaksan Mountain. The main character of the house with a sophisticated exterior is none other than architect Daniel Tendler. A Hanok expert who preserves the neat style of Hanok while not missing out on modern functions! The old house reborn by his hands has a special story... It's not easy to find a house with a yard in Seoul. I thought I had finally accomplished the difficult task, but the narrow and steep alleys caught me off guard. The owner said that he lost 5kg because he had to carry the materials by hand. Since it was an old house, the angles were not consistent, so it was quite difficult to construct. Thanks to his hard work, the dream house was born! They say that there is a special secret hidden inside, but it feels like the outside. The stone floor appears right when you open the middle door. The house is filled with tropical plants everywhere… They even drilled holes in the floor and planted the plants directly in the soil. The ceiling is glass, so it is like a greenhouse, and they say that this place contains the commonalities of German and Korean cultures. There is another space in this house that they poured a lot of love into. It is a special room where the walls and floor are all made of Korean paper and the floor is finished with lacquer. There is a reason why they put so much effort into this precious finish that not just anyone can construct. This is the room where his mother from Germany stays when she comes to Korea. He said that he prepared it with extra care because he knew how much his mother missed him when he lived in a Korean house when he was young. Now, it has become his son’s hometown. The house and the owner are gradually becoming part of the village landscape! We explore the architecture theory of Director Daniel Tendler, who enjoys his home and life with the mindset of borrowing rather than owning while he is alive. ✔ Program name: Architectural Exploration House - What kind of house do architects live in? ✔ Broadcast date: 2023.09.26
