On November 6, Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul) held the Exhibition of College of Design to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its College of Design. The first special lecture at the exhibition opening, organized by the Department of Spatial Design (Chair Professor Choi Kyung Ran), was “NEXT HOME: The Next-Generation Residential Platform Proposed by Raemian,” presented by Team Leader Geum Gwi Seon, who oversees Samsung C&T's Housing Product Design Team. ‘NEXT HOME’ is a future residential model born from the integration of Raemian's innovative technologies, recently realized in the test bed at the Dongbaek District in Yongin. This test bed breaks away from the conventional uniform internal structure of apartments, offering a differentiated residential experience through customized spatial changes.

Team Leader Geum Gwi Seon introduced the ‘Next Ramen’ structure and ‘Next Infill’ system applied to ‘NEXT HOME’. The Next Ramen structure breaks away from conventional wall-based construction, combining vertical columns and horizontal beams. Using prefabricated modular drywall materials, the Next Infill system flexibly adapts to structural changes or remodeling, enabling free space configuration according to residents' needs. walls, and bathrooms. This allows flexible responses to structural changes or remodeling within the interior space, enabling free spatial configuration according to the resident's needs. He explained that the technologies developed by Raemian enhance spatial variability and sustainability, opening up infinite possibilities for future residential spaces.

Particularly, the technologies that drew students' attention during the special lecture were ‘Next Bath’ and ‘Next Furniture’. Next Bath, a modular bathroom, involves bringing a user-customized bathroom manufactured off-site into the home and connecting it with plumbing. Next Furniture is built-in furniture that can separate or integrate spaces according to each user's distinct lifestyle, enabling free movement and rearrangement. This groundbreaking idea facilitates both the expansion and division of space.

The special lecture drew enthusiastic interest in the future residential spaces envisioned by Samsung C&T's Raemian ‘Next Home,’ with over 100 students and professors participating. Attendees included current students from the Department of Spatial Design, the Graduate School of Space Design, and the Graduate School of Techno Design's Department of Spatial Culture Design, as well as students and faculty from the College of Design and the College of Architecture.

Building on this special lecture, the Graduate School of Techno Design's Department of Spatial Culture Design and Samsung C&T plan to expand research through seminars and workshops related to future residential space design. They also intend to conduct joint industry-academic research based on user lifestyles.
