Traditional Korean House: Hanok
Traditional Korean house is called Hanok(한옥).
Hanok refers to Korean traditional architecture with very comprehensive contents. It is a living place reflecting the times, and thus, a variety of materials have been used in Korean architecture
Not only Hanok itself is very beautiful and artistic, but living in Hanok means a lot of things.
First, you can be one with nature. Hanok doesn't destroy neighborhood environment; in addition, it is designed to fully enjoy the nature.
Second, you can be healthy. When you live in Hanok, you don't need harmful air conditioner or heater. Hanok makes the most of natural wind, and its Ondol(온돌; Korean floor heating system) system warms your cozy place.
Third, Hanok is extremely convenient. Let me give you an example. If you want to widen your place for any reason, just lift the doors. You can change Hanok's each small room into one wide place.
