“We wanted to provide an apartment that can transform like a’transformer’ according to the child’s growth. The’Alpha Room’, which can be shared and combined, is the core of this Newlywed Hope Town.” (Korea Land and Housing Corporation official)

Young people’s minds are complicated these days, not knowing that house prices and rents are so high. I don’t have a lot of money saved, but it’s not easy to buy a house, and if I don’t buy it, I get anxiety about “what if I climb further”.

In particular, the minds of newlyweds are more complicated. Even when I looked back at public housing, I couldn’t get my hands on the surrounding pressure that the quality wasn’t enough to live with a child. However, in the future, these worries seem to gradually decrease. This is because public housing is being reborn as a house that consumers want, taking off its lagging image.

A representative example is the Newlywed Hope Town of 1827 households, which Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) recently sold in blocks A-4 and A-5 of Goyang Janghang Port and Block A-2 of Goyang Branch. In the newlyweds’ Hope Town sample house located in Samsong-dong, Deokyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, visited at the end of last month, the Alpha Room, which is evaluated as “moving out of the one-of-a-kind public housing,” attracted attention. Goyangjang Port recorded a high competition rate of 4.6 to 1, and the Goyangji axis was 14.6 to 1.

An apartment with a dedicated area of ​​50m2 usually has a 3-bay structure with 1 bedroom, living room + kitchen, and 2 bedrooms arranged side by side. The complex divides 2 bedrooms into two to create one more room and named it’Alpha Room’.

The first impression was mediocre. 3 bedrooms in a 55m2 apartment with a private area that cannot be said to be spacious. At the moment I thought,’Isn’t that making the house narrower?’, LH Kim Yoel, who was in charge of the guide, knocked on the wall between the two small rooms and made a’plumbling’ sound.

“It’s not a concrete wall, it’s a temporary wall. When I first move in, I decide the alpha room plan and the integrated plan, but if my child grows up and needs a spacious room, I can combine it without major construction.”

“There are other options that can be used in various ways depending on the life cycle,” Kim said. “There are two sample houses, basic and optional, for the same area, so please compare them.”

Looking carefully at it, I felt consideration for the newlyweds in many ways besides the Alpha Room. In addition to the bathroom, the master bedroom had a small space. This space was decorated as a baby room with a baby cradle in the basic type, and a dressing room in the optional type.

It was explained that it was used as a child’s room until the infant stage, which can not take his eyes off the eye for a moment, and until an infant who shares the same bed as the parents.

The pantry (grocery storage) facing the entrance shoe rack can be used as one large storage space, or it can be divided into two so that one can be connected to the side of the kitchen. In the case of the front, it is intended to be used as a’hobby goods storage’ for newlyweds who enjoy various outdoor activities, and in the case of the latter, it is intended to be used as a food storage for couples who frequently use’Zipcook’.

The fact that Honeymoon Hope Town is a representative’equity-equipped’ public sale house is also the motive for its evolution into a’transformation house’. Honeymoon towns with a sale price of more than 300 million won are obligated to subscribe to exclusive mortgage loans.

Rather than reducing the burden by lending up to 70% of the house price at a fixed interest rate of 1.3% per year, it is a product that shares profits up to 10-50% depending on the number of children and the length of the loan when selling a house. If the resale restrictions are lifted by newlyweds without children, if they buy and sell immediately, they have to pay 50% of the market margin, but if they have two children while living for 10 years, the sharing rate drops to 20%.

Honeymoon Hope Town is designed not only for each furniture, but also for the complex itself as a’good for raising children’ apartment. In addition to the common daycare centers and kindergartens, a’general childcare center’ is installed as a separate building. National and public day care centers that have moved into the comprehensive childcare center provide full-day care and a’shared childcare center’ that supports childcare. It plans to support after-school classrooms for elementary school students through its own program. This is a system to reassure newlyweds, who are mostly double-income and have difficulty raising children.

As I went down to the first floor, a newer house that was more different caught my eye. It was’Layered Home’, one of three style rooms installed by LH as a space for exhibitions. The exclusive area is 46m2, and it was a spacious space even with a TV, sofa, and yoga mat on the desk. In particular, depending on how the green modular sofa in the center was arranged, the entire space became a home training space, a home cafe, and a home office.

“With a 46㎡ type of living room and 2 bedrooms integrated, we wanted to show that even in a small house, various roles can be given to the living space. “Home Decorating”, a YouTube channel specializing in interiors with 860,000 subscribers, and In collaboration, it was designed to be fully utilized as a movie theater, home office, home training space, and sometimes even a home cafe.”

This is an explanation from an official of LH Future Housing. Layered Home was also released as video content on the YouTube channel. Among all the interiors I’ve seen so far, it’s a good interior that I want to live in a realistic way, and it has received favorable reviews, such as,’If you live in a house like this, you will want to live fully.’

LH plans to provide a free option to realize a multipurpose space by integrating a living room and a bedroom in the honeymoon town to be sold in the future. An official from LH said, “In the pre-subscription for the 3rd new town, which runs from the second half of this year to next year, the volume of the newlywed towns is expected to account for more than 60%.” “We plan to promote online and offline comprehensive promotion of subscriptions and promotions for each subscription district.”
