Text description provided by the architects. Aewol Craft Shop & House is in Aewol, Jeju. It has a landscape surrounded by low roofs of single-story buildings that can be seen between Jeju’s stone walls and wide fields. The horizontally spread village has a quiet and relaxed atmosphere, which also brings peace among villagers who have long-standing relationships. Aewol Craft Shop & House has expanded the concept of a house by adding living spaces for an owner's family. There are the owner’s parents’ house consists of Jeju's representative residential types, which are Anchae[1] and Baggatchae2, and two tangerine storages. As the original environment of a house that forms one person’s life develops into a new family composition over time, the house works continuously as a framework to contain the expanded form of family. Unlike large cities, small towns in Aewol value connections between villagers. Since the culture is formed by the community that constitutes a village, connections between the house and the villages, connections as a member of the village, and connections between the individual and the family are considered important.
