Perfect House- "The Sanggo-Jae"

 The Sanggo-Jae

This house was first viewed in the Philippines by the Asianovelas in ABS-CBN which is "The Perfect Match"

In the tv series, it was the house owned by Julien Park which was designed by his own father. But in the real life, it was really called "RAKKOJAE".

The HISTORY

Traditional Korea house located in the Bukchon Hanok Village. However only the gate of Sanggojae and the surrounding roads were filmed in Bukchon Hanok Village. The interior of Sanggojae was filmed in another location. Bukchon Hanok Village is a village with alot of traditional Korea house located there. 

The name “Rakkojae” means “the place where one can enjoy the traditions of times past and rest one's soul” and judging from the photos of this 130 year-old house, it certainly looks like an inviting oasis of peace amid the concrete sprawl of Seoul. Its founder, Ahn Young-hwan, a former computer programmer, shared his philosophy on the website of his guesthouse: “Korea cannot be seen. It must be felt…. Korea’s recent past shows a struggle against poverty and devastation, and the dawn of growth-oriented development. But, in the process, a great deal of cultural properties were destroyed within the four gates. The time has come to restore our heritage, to enjoy life. I hope cultural spaces will be developed by other like-minded individuals in the future, because Rakkojae is only the beginning.”

 

Ahn enlisted the help of hanok architext, Jeong-Yeong-jin to convert the nobleman’s house into a luxurious guesthouse which could play host to not more than twelve guests at a time. It employs the traditional ondol system but at same time, you have modern plumbing in private bsthrooms, even a Japanese-style bath to soak fully in, and Net access.
