The Home We Want to Live In
Understanding What Makes a Good Home Through Korean Housing Culture and DNA
Born into a family of three generations of architects, Kim Homin, head of Polymer Architecture Office, presents his first architectural guidebook after five years of exploring more than 260 private homes across Korea. Known to the public as the host of EBS Architecture Exploration: Home, the author introduces The Home We Want to Live In, a book that distills the conditions of a lifelong living space into eight core principles referred to as the Korean Housing DNA. Drawing on accumulated traces of everyday homes, the book reconnects past wisdom with present realities to redefine meaningful standards for living spaces that truly suit both body and mind.
Completed alongside the book’s release, Kim’s own home, designed over four years, serves as a personal reflection on the idea that a home, like life itself, is never perfect but shaped through the process of filling its imperfections. Through this perspective, readers are invited to rediscover the essence of home and to find clear, practical criteria for choosing a place that feels genuinely comfortable and true to themselves.
