Recently, as lifestyles have changed, distinct shifts have been observed in residential products. Moving beyond the past trend of prioritizing proximity to subway stations, known as ‘yeoksegwon,’ ‘supsegwon’?residences near pleasant natural forests that allow for an eco-friendly lifestyle?are gaining popularity. Additionally, residential complexes offering luxurious community amenities and breakfast services comparable to hotels are emerging one after another.
A successful case establishing itself as a new residential product is the ‘complex-type townhome.’ This product combines the specialized design of houses with the convenience of apartments. It offers private gardens that can serve as personal yards, as well as independent spaces such as attics or rooftop gardens that can be customized according to personal taste. This appeals strongly to the younger generation who are sensitive to the latest housing trends. Moreover, multiple households form a village-like community, allowing residents to enjoy communal living similar to apartments.
Riding on the popularity of such complex-type townhomes, the market has recently seen the emergence of houses that combine the comfort of rural living with the convenience of apartment lifestyles and accessible infrastructure. These homes provide excellent security, convenience facilities, and well-maintained complexes, enabling residents to enjoy a natural lifestyle.
A representative complex-type townhome brand is ‘Lafiano’ by developer RBDK, which is attracting market attention by successfully conducting sales of ‘Lafiano Cheonan Asan’ in the Asan area of Chungcheongnam-do.
First introduced in 2017 in Gimpo Hangang New Town, Lafiano maximizes private spaces such as personal gardens, terraces, and private parking lots while forming a complex like an apartment to compensate for the drawbacks of typical houses. It also features specialized spaces rarely found in conventional residential products, such as sunken areas connected to basements and courtyards, drawing significant attention.
‘Lafiano Cheonan Asan’ is also gaining attention as the first Lafiano project in the Chungcheong region where residents can enjoy various specialized spaces within nature. Notably, the project involves renowned premium complex housing design expert architect Seongwook Jo and TCB&Company, known for their creative and unique spatial compositions, creating expectations for synergistic effects.
‘Lafiano Cheonan Asan’ focuses on creating spaces that support a more comfortable life with originality by applying a new concept of ‘architectural engineering.’ This is not merely numerical engineering design but incorporates various details for ‘my own’ space.
In fact, through detailed measurements of bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, stairs, and void spaces, the project plans to provide optimal spaces designed ergonomically to enable a convenient lifestyle. This will redefine the formula of a home and is expected to be the first high-society townhome complex never before seen in Cheonan and Asan.
Additionally, it is located in a prime spot within the Asan Baebang Residential Development District in the city center. Residents can enjoy the pleasant natural environment of nearby Yonggok Park, and the KTX Cheonan Asan Station commercial facilities are within a 1 km radius. Galleria Department Store, E-Mart, CGV, and Line 1 Asan Station are also nearby, providing convenient access to lifestyle infrastructure. Within 1 km of the site are elementary, middle, and high schools, making it advantageous for children’s commuting. The educational environment is excellent with Asan Yongyeoncho Attached Kindergarten and numerous daycare centers nearby.
The wide-area transportation network is also outstanding. Cheonan Asan Station, accessible by KTX and SRT, and Line 1 Asan Station are adjacent. Through Isunsin-daero right in front of the complex, it is easy to reach Asan City, Buldang New Town, and Cheonan City Hall. Oncheon-daero, Cheonan-daero, and the Gyeongbu Expressway are also nearby, providing excellent wide-area accessibility to the Seoul metropolitan area and the greater capital region.
Meanwhile, the ‘Lafiano Cheonan Asan’ housing gallery operates by reservation to prevent COVID-19 and ensure smooth visits.
