Korean Hanok

A Hanok is a traditional Korean house that reflects the country’s culture and architectural principles. Characterized by its wooden structure, tiled roof, and harmonious integration with nature, Hanoks are designed to promote comfort and efficiency. The layout typically emphasizes open spaces, with rooms surrounding a central courtyard. The use of natural materials and a delicate balance of light and airflow enhances the living experience. Hanoks often embody the philosophy of “Ondol,” a traditional floor heating system, showcasing the ingenuity of Korea’s historical living practices. They serve as a symbol of Korea's heritage and are often preserved as cultural landmarks.
