House Covered House / Becban architecture
Briefly

The architects undertook a renovation of a rural house on Jeju Island, originally built in 1965, by choosing to reuse the existing structure rather than demolish it. This sustainable approach integrated a new building with the old under a single roof, enhancing spatial efficiency while retaining crucial design elements. The intervention included converting the living space into a kitchen-dining area, adding functional services, and designing gable roofs that improved daylight access. The overall design maintains continuity and flexibility in living spaces, creating a harmonious blend of old and new architecture.
The design strategy focused on retaining the existing building while integrating a new structure, which improved spatial efficiency and maintained the original's integrity.
The integration of old and new elements created a cohesive space that emphasizes openness and flexibility, with careful consideration given to daylight access.
