Seoul National Housing Corporation is a local public enterprise established in accordance with the “Local Public Enterprises Act” and the “Seoul Metropolitan City SH Corporation

Establishment and Operation Ordinance” to effectively implement Seoul's housing site

development, housing construction, and urban redevelopment projects.

 

The task in charge is similar to that of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation, except

that the project target area is limited to Seoul.

 

As such, Seoul National Housing Corporation has a significant influence on the residential lighting equipment market as it is doing a business to build many houses. In other words, it is a big customer for domestic residential lighting equipment manufacturers.

 

Six semi-basement spaces of multi-family housings owned by the Seoul National Housing Corporation have been transformed into community facilities for local residents. These

six places were empty for a long time because they were not suitable for living due to

mold or moisture.

For example, in the semi-basement space of a house in Oryu-dong, Guro-gu, tables and

chairs were arranged for residents' gatherings. A “resident architecture school” will be

operated to create village regeneration led by residents.

 

The space under the housing in Gaebong-dong, Guro-gu, is a self-development space and a community communication room for young housewives in the area.

 

In particular, the planning and design of this semi-submarine space improvement were

handled by young architects such as university students and graduate students majoring

in architecture, and new architects who recently joined an architectural company. Young

architects communicate with local residents to install facilities that residents need, and

young architects are in charge of space management in the future.

 

 The Seoul Housing and Urban Corporation (SH Corporation, President: Se-Yong Kim)

announced that the “SH Youth Architect-led Space Welfare Project” pilot project will be

promoted with this content. The six spaces have been created and are scheduled to enter operation from April.

 

Sixteen teams of young architects who participated in the pilot project and 14 were the

winners of the “5th SH Youth Architects Design Competition” promoted by SH Corporation last year.

The six spaces are operated as spaces for programs such as a community communication room, a shared kitchen, a village art exhibition space, a space for education and hobby

exchanges related to gardening and architecture, a village design project village and an

archiving activity space. The scale is about 9 pyeong (30.05㎡) to 25 pyeong (83.2㎡).
