BNB “BeljinWooyoung”
Located at the western end of Jeju Island, Panpo-ri is a small coastal village famous for its clear and clean colors. Adjacent to the emerald sea, it is crowded with tourists for snorkeling in summer. The client wanted a guest house on a site near this attractive port. The client wanted a space where guests could feel the local color of Jeju Island and where guests could relax like their own home. And they wanted each guest house to have an independent individual yard.
BNB with individual gardens
We carefully considered how two guest buildings and one main building would be located and the yard would be divided within the large land. We intended to naturally have an individual yard by bending each guest building into an L-shape toward the site boundary. As a result, one house had a yard with a sea view, and the other house was opened toward the tangerine field where the client farmed himself. Guests can enjoy a campfire in their own individual yards, or soak in a private outdoor bathtub and relax. Since this is an experience that is not easily accessible in apartments or villas, which are ordinary residential types in Korea, guests can enjoy a true rest away from their daily lives for a while.
The next concern was the relationship between the main house and the guest building. The client wanted to deliver the breakfast he cooked himself to the guests. Therefore, the main house and guest house had to be planned to respect each other's privacy while establishing a friendly relationship without difficulty in access. We placed the main house, which should be more private, inside the site, and the guest building was placed close to the entrance and exit so that guests could enter and exit easily. And between the two buildings, an alley reminiscent of Jeju's Olle Trail was placed. This alley serves to protect privacy by distinguishing the owner's house from the guest building while giving visitors the experience of walking along the rich landscaping. In addition, this alleyway doubled the depth of the entire building by providing a sense of depth that seemed to be drawn deep inside beyond the promenade.
three houses on one roof
We thought about how a total of three buildings could be woven together in harmony. Rather than three houses being monotonously separated from each other, we tried to connect the roofs of each other so that they seemed to be one house. The roof, which is connected by bending at various angles, forms a dynamic skyline like a paper crane. In addition, a high ceiling is secured inside, so guests can feel a sense of openness. Since the ceiling surface is not standardized and is bent from various angles, guests can enjoy an interesting sense of space that is not felt in ordinary houses. This unique roof connects the entire building with the same concept, while also establishing itself as a unique signature of BeljinWooyoung.
Beljin Wooyoung means "the garden where the stars fall" in the Jeju dialect. Like a client who decided to settle in Jeju, which has a distinct regional color, we hope that this house will naturally be incorporated into Panpo-ri Village.
