IHWARUAE位于以伊娃壁画村闻名的伊瓦东，位于汉阳多塞要塞东麓。这是Z实验室的第五次停留项目。你仍然可以在山上的破旧别致的房子里找到时间的痕迹，这座房子建于1950年。在Z_Lab的触摸下，这座老房子重新诞生，成为一个你可以举行盛大派对、获得治愈的感觉、唤醒你的灵感的地方，同时享受着城堡的温暖拥抱和首尔风景的美景。

IHWARUAE is located in Ihwadong which is famous for Ihwa Mural Village, at the eastern foot of the Hanyangdoseong Fortress. It is Z-Lab's 5th stay project. You can still find the traces of time in the shabby chic house on the hill which was built in the 1950'. With the touch of Z_Lab, the old house was reborn as a place where you can have a great party, get a sense of healing, and awaken your inspiration while enjoying the warm embrace of the fortress and the scenic views of Seoul.

IHWARUAE有一个特殊的联系与汉阳多塞要塞。随着汉阳多松堡的历史和文化价值的新曙光，作为朝鲜王朝600年历史的首都的象征，这座堡垒预计将被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。位于东部要塞山麓的伊瓦壁画村，由于当地居民和地方政府的积极努力，成为吸引游客的主要场所。居民们一直在寻找办法，以充分发挥村庄的潜力，与历史遗址共存。随着新的盈利模式的建立，他们将旧住宅改造成咖啡馆、画廊和宾馆，并提供各种游客项目，包括伊瓦东博物馆(Ihwadong Museum)。

IHWARUAE has a special tie with the Hanyangdoseong Fortress. With new light shed on the historical and culture value of the Hanyangdoseong Fortress as the symbol of the 600-year-old capital of the Joseon dynasty, the fortress is expected to be listed as a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO. Ihwa Mural Village which is at the foothills of the eastern fortress became a major tourist draw as a result of the vigorous effort made by the residents as well as the local government. The residents have been seeking ways to fully utilize the potential of the village and coexist with the historical site. With a new profit model in place, they have converted old residences into cafes, galleries and guesthouses and are offering various visitor programs including the Ihwadong Museum.

IHWARUAE是伊娃(梅花)、路(山)和爱(爱)的组合，意为伊瓦东山上的一座小宾馆。日本马斯都雅风格的建筑建于20世纪50年代，它保留了60年前的魅力。几十年来，这座有9个小房间的房子积累了大量的时间，当它第一次被发现的时候，它几乎处于崩溃的边缘。

IHWARUAE is the combination of Ihwa (Plum blossom), rue (hill) and ae (love) which means a small guesthouse on the Ihwadong hill. The Japanese Mastuya-style building was built around the 1950's and it retained much of its 60-year-old charm. For decades, the house with 9 small rooms has accumulated the layers of time, and it was almost on the verge of collapse when it was first discovered.

IHWARUAE的翻新计划侧重于强调旧的魅力，使时间的流逝的影响完好无损，而不是使它现代化和复杂。所有的外墙和内墙都被保留下来，只有非法的建筑被拆除，原来隐藏在下面的日本式屋顶被仔细地修复，以诉说时间的历史。

The renovation plan for IHWARUAE was focused on accentuating the old charm, leaving the effect of the passage of time intact rather than making it modern and sophisticated. All the exterior and the interior walls were kept, with only the illegal addition being demolished, and the original Japanese-style roof which has been hidden underneath was carefully restored to tell the history of time.

IHWARUAE的特色是一家音乐商店，一个开放式厨房和一个私人生活区。一楼是一家向公众开放的咖啡馆，任何人都可以顺便来听音乐，放松一下。在房间的后面是一个开放式的厨房，与私人生活区相连，为小型聚会提供了一个完美的场所。二楼是为那些梦想有一个特别的夜晚外出的城市居民准备的。这个充满个性的空间，再加上一张复古沙发，来自UpCycled品牌。

IHWARUAE features a music shop, an open kitchen and a private living area. The 1st floor is a cafe open to the public where anyone can drop by and relax while listening to the music. At the back of the room is an open kitchen that is connected to the private living quarters, providing a perfect place for a small gathering. The 2nd floor is for urbanites who dream of a special night out. This space full of character is further accentuated with a vintage couch from the Upcycling brand Matter & Matter, and the bathroom door and the countertop made with materials salvaged from demolition.

IHWARUAE最大的魅力在于一楼的开放式厨房，为私人聚会提供了理想的空间。开放式厨房最多可容纳10人。在这个诱人的环境中，举办一个盛大的聚会是很容易的。它很大程度上是受“亲属杂志”的启发，旨在为渴望亲属生活的人们提供一个梦想的地方。二楼的私人住宅被设计成一个舒适的夜晚，周围环绕着伊瓦东的真实氛围。整个空间充满了乐趣，从可以俯瞰城市景色的起居室，到面向伊瓦东小巷的露台，再到一个露天浴池。

The biggest charm of IHWARUAE is the open kitchen on the 1st floor which offers an ideal space for private parties. The open kitchen can accommodate up to 10 people. Within the inviting and attractive environment, it is so easy to throw a great party. It was largely inspired by the KINFOLK magazine and aims to offer a place of dream to people who yearn for the KINFOLK life. The private living quarters on the 2nd floor is designed to be a place for a comfortable night surrounded by Ihwadong's authentic vibe. The entire space is filled with pleasures, from the living room overlooking the view of the city, to the terrace facing the Ihwadong alley, and to a one of a kind open-air bath.

IHWARUAE是一个神秘而独特的地方。外表有尊严地站立，保持古老的魅力，而内部有各种意想不到的曲折。通过与Ihwadong所代表的粉笔音乐的合作，一楼的商店可以充分展现伊瓦东的氛围。洗手间对公众开放。这座有着600年历史、具有巨大历史和文化价值的汉阳铁洞要塞和坐落在城墙旁边的村庄是不可分割的，它们正在寻找共同繁荣的途径。IHWARUAE不仅仅是一个改造项目。这是成功共存的一个很好的例子；通过提供一个独特的地方和聚会场所来保存村庄的历史和文化遗产，同时保持村庄的魅力。

IHWARUAE is a secrete and unique place. The exterior stands with dignity holding the age-old charm while the interior has a variety of unexpected twists. Through the collaboration with the Pastel Music that 'Ihwadong' represents, the 1st floor shop serves as a place you can fully emerge the ambience of Ihwadong. The restroom is open to the general public. The 600-year-old Hanyangdoseong Fortress with great historical and cultural value and the village located alongside the wall are inseparable and are seeking ways to thrive together. IHWARUAE is not just a renovation project. It is a great example of successful coexistence; preserving the village's history and cultural heritage while keeping the charms of the village alive by providing a unique experience with a place to stay and party.
