세종마을은 조선 초기 왕족들과 사대부들의 택지, 1900년대 조선 문학과 예술의 중심지, 근대 예술인들의 창작현장이 되어왔으며, 현재 이러한 역사문화자원들을 바탕으로 개량형 한옥과 골목길들이 고유한 풍경을 형성하고 있다. 상촌재는 땅의 기억을 존중하며 들어섬으로써 세종마을의 역사적 맥락과 풍경에 어우러지며 전통 한옥의 생활상을 전할 것이다.

Sejong Village was originally home to loyal families at the beginning of the Joseon Dynasty. By the 1900s, the area had become a cultural and artistic hub, attracting modern artists. Since then, it has transformed while retaining its historical foundations, with modernized hanoks and the views from the alleys creating a distinctive urban landscape. Sangchonjae was built to honor the memories embedded in the land and to respect the local context, ensuring that the history of Sejong Village continues alongside the preservation of its original hanoks.
