Namwon is home to Gwanghalluwon, where the love story of Sung Chunhyang and Lee Mongryong has been passed down, and is a representative region that continues to inherit and preserve our traditions and culture to this day.
In Namwon, where tradition is alive and breathing, the architect aimed to create a space where the region's past and present could coexist.
This place, named "Hajeong(town name) Sasaek(4 colors)" after its four themes—'Rest space', 'Fire space', 'Water space', and 'Yard space'—is composed of these distinct areas.
If you follow the quiet alley lined with old houses, you'll come across Hajeong Sasaek.
Led by the blue light beyond the door, as you open it and walk along the stone path, a cozy space for contemplation unfolds.
The sound of water flowing from the small pond in the courtyard soothes the mind, while the leisure enjoyed on the small wooden deck in the middle of the pond heals the weary soul from the strains of daily life.
Utilizing overall dark-toned wood and furniture, the space is designed to be quiet and comfortable.
This contrasts with bright natural elements, accentuating each other's highlights and shadows.
The living and dining area features exposed ceilings, creating a sense of openness, and the space was distinguished using the step difference on the floor.
Large windows at the front of the living room allow natural light to permeate the interior.
The walls and lower cabinets in the kitchen are coordinated with the same color material, creating a sense of unity in the space.
A folding door adorned with lacquerware inlaid with mother-of-pearl is placed at the head of the bed, enhancing the beauty of traditional Korean aesthetics.
A large window by the bathtub provides ample joy as it offers seasonal views of the surroundings throughout the year.
At night, one can enjoy a new experience of relaxation in the space of light, emptying complex thoughts and sharing joy.
