Sometimes, you have to choose an alternative path to adapt to changing situations that seem unavoidable. This is a story about dealing with the dreaded situation of design changes while planning a building. The building in question is a y?nwajo (traditional Korean tiled-roof house) constructed in 1969, originally serving as the residence of the mayor of Yongsan District at the time. Despite its age, the house remains in good condition, resembling the typical black-tiled y?nwa-jo commonly seen in the area. The design process began with the intention of expansion and remodeling that rivals new construction.
