□ Residential exhibition (“Exhibition for Great House to Live in and Village of Dream”) that will be displaying a wide range of sample houses to which the recent construction concept of the timber pastoral houses through a diverse construction technology will be held at the Bukhan Riverside. The “Bukhan River Dongyeonjae,” which the Gyeonggi Urban Innovation Corporation is establishing as a joint development project with private sector participation for the first time in Korea, will be introducing the 4 model houses constructed in traditional North American timber structure with semi-passive house construction technique to the public through the residential exhibition during April 11∼20.

o For the “Bukhan River Dongyeonjae,” which is the largest timber pastoral residential complex (with 141 houses) in Korea jointly established by a public company and private sector in order to present an alternative to the high-rise apartment-oriented residential culture of Korea, the Gyeonggi Urban Innovation Corporation will be in charge of development of the land and establishment of urban infrastructure, and Dream Site Korea Co., Ltd will be in charge of construction and sales of the residences. In addition, the level of construction of the houses has been elevated a level through the construction supervision by the Canadian technicians in accordance with the agreement for technology cooperation with the Canada Wood (Canadian Timber Industry Council). In particular, highly air-tight insulation materials that is four times denser than the ordinary insulation materials used in timber residences is used for the first time in Korea. Moreover, 3-layered glass system windows are used for all the windows, thereby reducing the cost of heating and cooling to less than 50% of that for apartment unit with a similar floor area.

o Most of the pastoral residence complexes are small in scale with less than 30 houses and are developed by small to medium sized construction companies. Accordingly, it is quite rare that model houses are constructed and exhibited to the public in advance as in the case of apartment. In particular, the values of the detached houses can be illustrated only when the model houses are combined with the surrounding landscape and have to be constructed on the actual site, thereby requiring completion of the infrastructures for such exhibition of the model houses. Therefore, most of the developers relied on the artists’ view and promotional materials for the sales of the houses. Public exhibition of 4 units of sample houses is very rare and would enable the prospective consumers to view the recent construction trends at a glance at a single location without having to visit several different construction project sites.

□ The “Bukhan River Dongyeonjae” in Dalgeon, Gapyeong is situated 1.5km from the Gapyeong Station of the Gyeongchun Rail Line, a 15-minute walk, and can be reached in 55 minutes from the Yongsan Station and 40 minutes from the Cheongryangri Station by using ITX. It is also surrounded by outstanding natural environment such as Nami Island, Jara Island and Ehwawon that can be reached on foot. In addition, bicycle trail and promenade along the Bukhan Riverside is only 300m away.

o The floor areas of the residences (for dedicated use) are categorized into 62.5 m²∼75.4 m² range with land area (registered land area) in the range of 138m²∼236 m². The sales prices range from mid-200 million Won to a low 400 million Won. Through the provision of service areas including expansion of the balcony and attic in the floor area range of 10.7 m²∼26.9 m², thereby expanding the actual floor area that can be used to 85.5 m²∼101.8 m², which is the floor area level of mid-sized apartments. Moreover, the outside deck and 2^nd floor terrace with the floor area range of 6.8m²∼20.5m² are provided additionally.

o In particular, the complex is equipped with a community center at the level of a club house that can house retail outlets such as brunch bar and convenience stores, as well as a guest house and multi-room that would enable the residence to conveniently hold family events at a low cost.
