    The house actor Won Bin built for his parents in Jeongseon, Gangwon Province has won the 2008 Korean Architecture Award. IDMM Architects, which was in charge of designing the house, said the house won the award on September 22.

    The 406.46m^2 house, located on national highway 42, boasts an innovative structure. The first floor of the house leads directly to the third floor, without a second floor.

    Apparently, Won Bin showed a photograph of Jennifer Lopez's Beverly Hills mansion to architect Kwak Hee-soo, and also asked him to incorporate memories of his old childhood home in Gangwon Province into the design.

    The kitchen is adorned with red bricks and features an old-style cooking-range that can heat the floor of the guest room.

    wow .. that's nice if that's the house. very unique but is it livable? it's so open that one would wonder if intruders can get in easy. look beautiful but not safe to me. perhaps i am wrong...lol
