The supply of apartments has had a great influence on the current housing supply rate in Korea. Apartment complexes were built as residential spaces where as many people as possible could live in a small space, which served as an opportunity to provide sufficient supply of housing demand due to urban concentration. By using apartments as residential spaces, neighbors who used to live with a wall between them live in the form of living with a single wall, so as a common residential space, not an individual lifestyle, the subject of residential comparison by apartment complex is becoming the target. In particular, apartments ranging from tens to thousands of households are bound to be built with the same structure and the same interior, depending on the characteristics that cannot be built one by one, like existing detached houses. Accordingly, efforts are being made through laws and systems to selectively give individuality using negative options, plus options, and variable walls, but in reality, limited choices are inevitable due to institutional deficiencies and avoidance of suppliers to generate profits.
In addition, as more and more apartment purchases are used as investment and speculative factors due to the recent steep rise in housing prices, the right to choose individual interiors and options needed for each life cycle among buyers who want to move in is being violated. For example, there are generations that need to expand balconies, but despite the selective authority, there is a growing supply of apartments that cannot be selected for convenience and profit generation, and to change some of the basic options, there is a waste of changing the apartment through interior construction.
Despite these problems, buyers who want to move into apartments are increasingly demanding and needing to enjoy a little more selective authority, and more and more individual interiors are being performed directly after selecting negative options.
In response, this researcher proposes a housing supply method called an option-free apartment, and attempts to confirm through this study how to meet the needs and needs of consumers who purchase apartments to live in real life.
The research method of this study identified the need for option-free apartments through prior research analysis, and investigated the current status of negative option selection cases and option-free apartment supply status through case analysis.
Based on this, problems were derived and improvement measures were studied. In addition, a study was conducted on the justification of the supply of option-free apartments through research on the advantages and supply plans of option-free apartments. In addition, we reviewed and analyzed what social expected effects can occur when supplying option-free apartments. However, since this study was conducted through cases and previous studies, further research on purchasing demanders needs to be conducted on specific and reasonable supply methods of option-free apartments, and it is expected that the actual supply of option-free apartments can bring about changes in apartment residential environment and housing satisfaction.
