GH, First Introduction of 'Open Balcony' in Hwaseong Public Housing Draws Attention

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation (GH) has decided to apply the open balcony "GH Yeoyurium," an open shared space within individual units, to the public housing units in Block A93 of Hwaseong Dongtan 2, scheduled to begin construction this year.

GH Yeoyurium is a small yard within the unit that allows residents to feel a sense of relaxation in an open outdoor space that breaks down the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. It refers to an open shared space that brings sunlight paths and wind paths into the interior.

GH Yeoyurium goes beyond simply expanding interior space; it can be designed as a personal healing space, a shared space with family, a garden for growing vegetables, flowerbed decoration, home training, outdoor camping, and various other spaces according to personal preferences.

GH explained that due to restrictions on outdoor activities caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, they planned an appropriately sized open balcony within the units to allow residents to feel openness even indoors.

This specialized design was consulted with architectural planning, construction, and safety technical advisory committees as well as the Architectural Space Research Institute, and reflected the opinions of the "GH Home Editor" advisory group composed of actual users.

Jeon Hyung-soo, Acting President of GH, stated, "Through the introduction of user-centered residential spaces, we will steadily implement the creation of premium public housing complexes where residents can live comfortably."
