The transformation of ramie-filled fields
In the past, one could see fields full of ramie on the way from Jeumeu Village to Gyeongpodae Gazebo (Hohaejeong). Now, there is a two-way four-lane asphalt road, which has become the widest route leading to Gyeongpo Beach. With the reclamation of the lake north of Gyeongpodae and the construction of the new road, agricultural lands rapidly diminished. Instead, new buildings including lodging and restaurants, such as rural guesthouses, pensions, and pool villas, have come to dominate the area, replacing the existing agricultural atmosphere and superseding traditional Korean housing (Hanok). The village, once known for cultivating ramie for fabric and farming, has thus transformed into a bustling tourist destination.
Connecting (arranging) three yards and an alley
The site is located between an adjacent four-lane road lined with cherry blossom trees leading to Gyeongpo and a hillock with a low pine forest to the south. Pedestrians and vehicles should enter the site from the north road, and as vehicle noise occurs on the road, parking lots and cafes are placed on the north side, with two pension buildings flanking a small courtyard to create a tranquil atmosphere. A connecting yard links the cafe and the two interconnected pension buildings, while the entrance to the pension is designed akin to an alleyway, creating a transitional space resembling a village alley for access to individual spaces. At the same time, upon entering the accommodation, occupants can enjoy an individual courtyard connected to the living room as a non-monotonous flow of space that can be expanded or contracted.
Duplex pension and hybrid structure
The café located at the entrance serves as a space for guest guidance and relaxation. The two accommodations have similar floor plans, but the one located in the middle of the site is oriented towards the northeast, facing Gyeongpodae, allowing guests to enjoy the distant view beyond the road and the field, while the accommodation next to the pine forest is designed to face southwest, allowing guests to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the forest. At the courtyard, the southern wall is kept low to seamlessly connect with the forest. The interior space on the first floor consists of a living room, kitchen, and spa, with access to the outdoor swimming pool in the courtyard. The second floor features a heavy-timber roof construction to achieve a modern Korean-style bedroom. This hybrid structure combines reinforced concrete construction up to the second floor with the heavy-timber roof, aiming to create a cozy space. Upon climbing the winding steel stairs, one faces a balcony-linked corridor leading towards the bedroom with a view to the open living room. While the outdoor space is created along the alleyway, the indoor space is designed with the long corridor allowing for spatial variety, and forest views are incorporated even into the bathrooms.
