The FriYah Living Facilities / IDS

One of the mistakes that people who dream of leaving their apartment and living in the country is to choose an unnatural site surrounded by a retaining wall. In order to obtain a large yard, they build a sloping ground up high and flatten it so there can be no nature or community. It does not contain any stories from the land, so even if there is a yard, it is no different from the life of an urban apartment. The land of "The FriYah" is not only surrounded by houses around the village but also the shape of the land is sizzling. It is too thin and long to arrange the house facing south. Nevertheless, the yard space facing the surrounding houses like a rural house and the wonderful view of the Namhan River beyond the bicycle path is more than offset such shortcomings.
