Only the kernel remains, the shell is gone.

Huam-dong A village on a thick rock. old place It is a place where the spaces of the past and the spaces of the present are piled up without order. As much as the traces of that era, the types of people living there are also diverse. It is an ideal place for young college students, newlyweds, and groups from beginners to middle-aged and natives.
-
As such, the context of the village is already rich.
-
However, old buildings remain and in order to receive the community smoothly, a space with the current method is needed. Breathing new life into old buildings should always be prudent and look closely at reality. Kernels are spaces that people need. The building remains the same, but the times have changed and the form of life has changed significantly.

Were there many single-person dwellers like now 30 years ago? Not like that. These days, there are more single-person dwellings than ever before. The residential space is not large enough to accompany a family of four or more, but provides a small space for one person to live in. As such, there is a loss of the scene coming from the area. If you are now in your late 20s or 30s, you will remember that the house you lived in as a child always had a bathtub. It's easy to think of an apartment with a large kitchen and a large living room. However, these days, single-person households and newlyweds' homes are not so grand. A shower rather than a bathtub, and a small living room and minimal kitchen. The wardrobe also shrunk according to the number of people. They cannot bathe easily. It is only in the name of a kitchen, but it is not an area where it is convenient to buy and prepare ingredients from that small place to eat and clean up. The facilities don't match it either. It is only a strategy to raise the monthly rent because there is, but it does not work effectively. What's more, what era had so many cafes scattered throughout the city?
-
If we compare this cafe era to an era, we are passing through the Spring and Autumn Warring States period. There are as many cafes as there are convenience stores. If we take all the above contexts together, we can see that the space has been around for a long time, but the form of life has changed a lot.

A beautiful project is underway in the land of Huam-dong, which has such a process.

Huam alliance, Huam study, Huam note, Huam kitchen, Huam living room, Huam annex, etc. With various names, old spaces have been brought to life to meet the needs of today. It is necessary to know what kind of modern scenes they contain by reciting them one by one. Huam Study Room is a space that provides a library and study. It is not a small area where people who live alone live, but it is a scale and facility that can sufficiently accompany the scene of the space. It tells the story of Wangsimni, a shared office office a long time ago, and is a space where the concept of direct occupancy is applied. Huam Kitchen literally provides a kitchen. It's a shared kitchen. Huam Note is an exhibition facility that captures Huam-dong. Archive Huam-dong. Huam Byeolchae is a space that contains the vacation that people enjoy these days. It is also a spa-type accommodation with a high-quality bathtub.
-
Finally, today's space, the Huam Alliance, is with the Huam Living Room. The first and second floors are cafes. The third floor is a living room where local residents can enjoy audiovisual materials on a wide screen and good stereo. The first and second floors are being used as cafes, but the coffee that comes out is coffee from a local coffee shop, and the breads are made with the brand 'Baldro', which makes bread using Korean wheat. Goods from 'Earth Shop', which care about the environment, and alcoholic beverages from a Korean craft beer brand called 'Queek Beer Company' are also available.
-
In my mind, I want to apply for and enjoy all the spaces and treat each one in detail, but I hope that you will experience the spaces that followed, saying that only experience will fully reveal reality.
-
So this place is actually changing the interior space by leaving the facade, that is, the shell of the building, but the scenes inside are modern. I argue that the kernel of space is a scene [program in architectural terms]. As such, this space is like the title.
-
Only the kernel remains, the shell is gone. This is part of the #Huam Alliance Huam Project.
