Volcanic Stone Walls and Cultivators, A Vernacular Homestead – In Napeup-ri, Aewol-eup, Jeju Island, many traditional homes with volcanic stone walls still remain. In this farming village, the cultivator, a motorized agricultural tool, was not only an essential farming implement but also a vital mode of transport. Even today, some farms continue to rely on it for daily activities.

In Bongseong-ri, Jeju, where Hallasan Mountain and the oreums harmonize, Watar rests on the land as an accommodation space capturing the beauty of Tamna (the old name for Jeju) through a refined sensibility. We sought to embody Jeju's classical landscapes and the reflections born from them in a contemplative atmosphere unique to this place—an ambiance that flows into its own sensibility and emotion. The narrative beauty of the land deepens the architecture with a quiet gradient of shadows, leaving an impression imbued with a calm and time-worn grace.

Aewol Craft Shop & House / O Architects

Hana Abdel — Sat, 15 Jul 2023 23:00:00 +0000

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.

'Yoga is the practice of calming the constant wave of the mind.' The verse is found in Chapter 1:2 of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, a book containing yoga teachings. While practicing yoga, we close our eyes and breathe deeply and slowly in and out in repetition. This is a simple, silent practice of concentrating on one's inner movements. The inner power of reaching complete unity with the universe lies behind the body's movement to perform yoga. The ability to listen to my inner voice through breathing and moving, the ability to come to terms with who I truly am through a complete understanding of myself, and the ability to accept myself as I am, are all fundamental aspects of yoga.

“Hallasan Mountain, Sanbangsan Mountain, low hills, and Oreum seat themselves softly on a spacious green carpet… When I see the quiet, low, and long Cheongsu-ri gotjawal, which sometimes seems to be far away and sometimes seems to be near, my spirit seems to be purified in spite of myself. I’m sitting beside a solid and small square concrete box.” In client text. I wanted a house, but not a contemporary common residence. I desired that a new rest at a residence as a space containing ideas as well as physical spaces would be presented. This project represents an inquiry into rest in contemporary residential spaces, and the beginning of spaces in which the mind and heart as well as the body can get a rest.

Portable Bike Store / Schemata Architects + Jo Nagasaka

Hana Abdel — Fri, 21 May 2021 06:00:00 +0000

As a program for tourists visiting Jeju to enjoy, we made a rental bike store and bike store on the ground floor. Considering the size of Jeju Island, cycling would be a good way to enjoy the island in combination with driving, so we decided to rent and sell only folding bikes at the store.

Simple House / Moon Hoon

The weather is strong, it dominates jeju life, it is very windy quite often, and weather changes instantaneously. The basalt rocks are everywhere, demarcating fields, and individual houses. The orum, which is like a little hill, is everywhere, more than 350 of them in jeju island. It creates a scene. The island is sort of an exotica among Koreans, weather and vegetation reminds them of tropics. In the past, it was home for many exiles from the mainland. Time flows rather differently here. Weather is the ruler.

At Jeju-si Hangyoung-myeon, which is called the home of wind, a remodeling project will be conducted for 6 months. The building, which was built in 2013, was operated as a lodging business for three years, and after the business was terminated, it was left in the sea breeze for three years.

Gongbech Untouchable Heart / SF LAB

Hana Abdel — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 23:00:00 +0000

The site is located at the furthest reaches of Dongbok-ri, a beach town on the northeastern side of Jeju-do. On a hill near the shoreline, where the wind blows so often that the trees and grasses are growing sideways, parallel to the ground, two blocks of warehouses stand indifferent to their surrounding landscape. When I first came to see the ruins of what used to be a cold storage unit constructed in 1982, I was consumed by the feeling of loneliness emanating throughout this site. When the inevitable question arose during a revitalization project — that is, 'what will you leave and what will you make anew' — I wanted to cling on to the emotions prompted in me by the ruins. I also believed that a newly established narrative from this architecture would allow me to reexperience the ruins again as a new medium.

Waon House / Z_Lab

Hana Abdel — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 01:00:00 +0000

This project started with a desire to create a space that offers a complete therapy. Thanks to the many good deeds done in the past by the old lady (Mrs. Ham)-whom the region’s name Hamdeok originated from-the vernacular stone house left a good first impression. The wonders this stone house offered, captured our hearts like love at first sight. And with the good intentions shared with a friend, new interpretations were added to the space to complete a stay with the theme of healing and therapy called ‘Waon’.

Casa Gaia / Studio GAON

Jeju Island, which has traces of volcanoes here and there as if it had just finished erupting, is a land where maternal nature is strongly felt. It is a place where a combination of black soil, cobalt-colored sea, and haenyeo (female diver), who live strongly in the sea, create a landscape.

The Stair House / Formative Architects

Hana Abdel — Tue, 04 Aug 2020 07:00:00 +0000

The site is located at a place called Pyeongdae-ri, which has a wide and flat land (Jeju language: Bengdi) that continues to the beach from the beautiful Bijarim Forest of Jeju Island. The client wanted a space where they could live in and make a profit. They needed to be able to run accommodations and provide the food for guest themselves, and each space had to be distinctly divided for the guests' privacy nevertheless organically connected for the ease of management. The architectural spaces that are divided and settled within an atypical site naturally create some unexpected yards of different personalities, and as those yards intertwined with each other, we were able to vaguely contain the transforming spatial personality of Olle Trails that lead to traditional Jeju houses.

Guesthouse Share Together with Draindot / STARSIS + ilsang workroom

Clara Ott — Wed, 05 Jun 2019 21:00:00 +0000

The Beginning of Draindot
Our client seemed to be confused. She purchased a land lot she fell in love with during a vacation, out of a simple thought that she wanted to live in the Jeju Island, and that was the beginning of Draindot. Started with high expectation, the first building design was a failure, and things were rough for her until she met ilsang_workroom to re-design, and started re-building with us, STARSIS, step by step. As you can see, Draindot started with just a vague idea.

SIHORU / 100A associates

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 09 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Sihoru is a building to soak into the environment blandly without using any technical skills. It resembles surroundings harmoniously through its moderate form and natural properties of matter. Natural elements immanent in this space such as light, water, stones and shadow interact one another constantly. This space has the essence to keep dynamic flow in its simplicity.

Florencia Mena — Thu, 29 Sep 2016 19:00:00 +0000

The name of house is Yoojeongheon. Nearing the completion of the construction, the owner gave its name and described the meaning to me as, 'wind stays, sunshine caresses’.

Urban Agency + Group-K Design Wood Experience Center on Jeju Island, South Korea

Patrick Lynch — Fri, 12 Aug 2016 14:25:00 +0000

Urban Agency and Group-K have placed 3rd in a competition for a “Wood Experience Center” on the island of Jeju, South Korea. The project location is an area of the island called Redorum, a wild natural environment containing a dense cedar forest and a tranquil lake. The architects responded to this unique site by designing a building that both preserves the unspoiled beauty of the landscape and creates an iconic building containing an exhibition hall, workshop and library.

Pyeongdaeri in Jeju was once called "Baengdui." It means a wild field covered with stone sand grass. The old Jeju is well preserved in this village with traditional stone houses and cottages huddled together in the beautiful seaside. Recently,many newcomers from the land are settling down in this area, converting old farmhouses into handicraft workshops, stores, cafes and guest houses. They are making a positive impact to the village revitalizing the local economy while making efforts to preserve the rural character of the community.
