건축을 결심하다
30대 초반의 젊은 부부는 아내의 꿈인 단독주택을 짓기로 결심했다. 줄곧 아파트 생활을 했던 남편과 달리 30여 년의 삶 중 10년 정도를 단독주택에 거주했던 아내는 결혼 후 오피스텔에 살게 되면서 집이 너무 답답하고 내 집 같지 않은 느낌이었다. 특히 얼굴도 모르는 사람들의 소음을 들어가며 산다는 것이 너무 힘들었다. 처음엔 아내가 원해서 막연하게 호응했던 남편도 건축 관련 일을 하다 보니 자연스럽게 멋진 건물을 지어 살아보고 싶은 욕망을 갖게 되었다. 사실 부부는 대학에서 건축과 실내디자인을 전공했고, 남편은 건축 관련 공무원으로, 아내는 인테리어 설계를 직업으로 갖고 있었다. 부부는 수원시 구도심에 햇빛이 잘 드는 땅을 장만하고 건축사를 만나게 되었다. 자신의 취향과 꼭 맞는 일을 해 온 건축사를 찾았지만, 대학에서 학생들을 가르치는 교수님 뻘인 분과 일을 하려니 처음에는 망설임이 앞섰다고 했다. 조그마한 집을 짓는데 큰 설계비를 지불하며 일을 하는 것이 옳은 것인지 고민이 되었지만, 오랫동안 꿈꿔오던 집을 짓기 위해서는 자신의 일처럼 살펴줄 건축사가 필요하다고 생각되어 같이 일하기로 결심했다. 

건축주의 요구사항은 단순했다. 2층에서 3층 규모의 단독주택, 방은 3개 정도, 차가 비를 맞지 않았으면 하고, 형태가 단순해도 흥미로운 집을 원했다. 건축주가 요청했던 것 중에 귀에 들어오는 몇 가지가 있었다. 
“아치형 창문이 귀엽게 포인트가 되었으면 합니다.”, “형태가 단순해도 흥미로운 집”, “대문이 있었으면 합니다.”
공사비의 압박으로 대문은 추후에 설치하기로 결정하고 공사를 진행했다.

 

아치가 있는 진짜 내 집
‘환영가(桓煐家)’의 1층은 거실과 주방으로 이뤄져 있다. 특이한 점은 현관의 신을 벗는 공간이 넓고 그곳이 거실이라는 점이다. 거실은 화분을 이용해 화초를 키울 수 있도록 바닥을 타일로 마감하고 낮은 단을 주어 주방, 식당 공간과 구분지었다. 주방과 식당 공간은 마감재로 합판을 선택했다. 바닥과 천장을 비슷한 색상으로 통일시켜 거실과 분리된 느낌을 띄도록 했다. 1층의 중앙에는 4개의 기둥이 있다. 4개의 기둥은 구조적인 역할을 하면서 건물의 중앙을 관통하는 보이드 공간을 통해 지붕에 설치된 천창으로 연결된다. 햇빛은 지붕을 지나 1층까지 내려온다. 2층의 좌측에는 두 개의 방이, 오른쪽에는 드레스룸 영역이 있다. 두 개의 방은 슬라이딩 도어로 서로 연결되는데, 가까운 미래에 아이가 생기면 독립된 방으로 만들 수 있도록 했다. 드레스룸은 분리형 샤워실, 화장실이 있고 세탁기와 파우더 공간이 함께 있다. 남쪽 공간은 윈도우시트를 크게 설치하고 ‘테라스’라 이름 지었다. 테라스는 집안의 모든 곳이 한꺼번에 보이는 곳으로, 천정의 둥근 아치를 볼 수 있다. 3층은 방 하나가 있고 이곳에 욕조를 두었다. 건축주는 옥외 테라스를 생각했지만, 비용과 유지관리를 고려해 실내로 만들면서 바로 옆에 천창을 두어 옥외 느낌이 나도록 했다. 3층에서는 2층의 둥근 아치와 함께 1층의 거실을 볼 수 있다.

Decided to build
A young couple in their early 30s decided to build a single-family home, fulfilling the wife’s dream. Unlike the husband, who had always lived in apartments, the wife had spent about 10 years of her 30 years of life in a single-family house. After getting married and moving into an office apartment, she found it confining and impersonal. It didn’t feel like home. Enduring the noise from neighbors she didn’t even know was particularly challenging. 
Initially, the husband agreed to the idea to support his wife, but as he worked in a field related to architecture, he began to desire a beautifully designed home for himself. The couple had both majored in architecture and interior design in college—the husband worked as a public official in architecture, and the wife as an interior designer. They purchased a sunny plot of land in Suwon’s old downtown area and met with an architect. 
Although they found an architect whose style matched their preferences, they hesitated at first, as the architect was as experienced as a university professor. They questioned whether it was worth paying significant design fees for a small house. Ultimately, they decided to proceed, realizing that to build their long-dreamed home, they needed an architect who would care about the project as much as they did.  

The couple’s requirements were simple: a two- or three-story single-family house with three rooms, a space to protect their car from rain, and a design that, while simple, would be intriguing. Among their requests, a few stood out: 
“We’d like arched windows as a cute highlight.”
“A house that is simple yet interesting.”
“It would be nice to have a front gate.”
Due to budget constraints, the front gate installation was postponed, and construction proceeded without it. 

My real house with an arch
The first floor of ‘Welcome House’ consists of a living room and kitchen. Uniquely, the entrance space where shoes are removed is spacious and doubles as the living room. The living room features tiled flooring, allowing plants to be grown in pots. A low platform separates the living room from the kitchen and dining area, where plywood was chosen as the finishing material. The floor and ceiling in this space were unified in similar tones to create a sense of distinction from the living room.
At the center of the first floor, four structural pillars rise, connecting to a skylight on the roof via a void that runs through the building’s core. This allows sunlight to cascade down from the roof to the first floor.
On the second floor, two rooms are located on the left, while the right side contains a dressing room area. The two rooms are connected with sliding doors, allowing them to function as a single space or as independent rooms, accommodating the future possibility of a child. The dressing room features a shower, toilet, washing machine, and powder room. On the southern side, a large window seat, named the ‘Terrace,’ provides a view of the entire house, including the rounded arch of the ceiling.
The third floor houses one room with a bathtub. The couple originally envisioned an outdoor terrace, but to balance costs and maintenance considerations, the space was enclosed, with a skylight installed nearby to create an outdoor ambiance. From the third floor, one can view the arch of the second floor and the living room below.
