house from the surrounding environment, especially considering the
circumstances of geography and season. Interior structure is also designed

based on the location of the house. Principle called Baesanimsu (hangul:

) literally set the ideal home to be built back to the mountains, and rivers are in
front of the house. Hanok built facing east or south in order to get enough
sunlight.

Korean traditional houses built of natural materials such as wood, soil, stone,
straw, tiles, and paper. Poles and frame are made of wood Hanok. Wall charger
frame house built of brick made from a mixture of soil and grass. Korean
traditional paper (hanji) installed in window frames, door frames, and siding. The
floor is made of hardened soil or rock.

Eaves that curved up called cheoma. Cheoma length determines the amount of
sunlight coming into the Hanok. Based on the striking difference in the roof,
Hanok broadly divided into two types: giwajip (thatched roof house) who
inhabited the upper class (yangban) and chogajip (thatched houses) that
inhabited among farmers. Giwajip constructed using tiles (Giwa) so that the cost
of construction of houses to be expensive and not affordable by the common
people. In contrast, the common people lived in thatched houses that easily

ondol. Wide veranda connecting room with one other room called Daecheong (
). Daechong an open room with wooden floors that was built to keep the house

Hanok adalah nama untuk rumah tradisional Korea yang digunakan untuk
membedakan mereka dari rumah gaya Barat. Arsitektur Korea memperhitungkan
lokasi rumah dari lingkungan sekitar, terutama mengingat keadaan geografi dan
musim. Struktur interior juga dirancang berdasarkan lokasi rumah. Prinsip yang
disebut Baesanimsu (hangul: ) secara harfiah mengatur rumah yang
ideal untuk dibangun kembali ke pegunungan, dan sungai berada di depan
rumah. Hanok dibangun menghadap ke timur atau selatan untuk mendapatkan
sinar matahari yang cukup.

Rumah tradisional Korea dibangun dari bahan-bahan alami seperti kayu, tanah,
batu, jerami, ubin, dan kertas. Polandia dan frame terbuat dari kayu Hanok.
Dinding bingkai charger rumah yang dibangun dari batu bata yang terbuat dari
campuran tanah dan rumput. Kertas tradisional Korea (hanji) dipasang di bingkai
jendela, kusen pintu, dan memihak. Lantai terbuat dari tanah atau batuan
mengeras.

Atap yang melengkung disebut cheoma. Panjang Cheoma menentukan jumlah

sinar matahari yang masuk ke Hanok. Berdasarkan perbedaan mencolok di atap,
Hanok luas dibagi menjadi dua jenis: Giwajip (rumah atap jerami) yang dihuni
kelas atas (yangban) dan chogajip (jerami rumah) yang dihuni kalangan petani.
Giwajip dibangun menggunakan ubin (Giwa) sehingga biaya pembangunan
rumah menjadi mahal dan tidak terjangkau oleh masyarakat umum. Sebaliknya,
orang-orang biasa tinggal di rumah-rumah jerami yang bahan mudah didapat.
Atap hanok jerami masih digunakan sebagai tempat tinggal, sedangkan Hanok
jerami bangunan telah menjadi langka.

Hanok dilengkapi dengan ondol untuk menghangatkan lantai rumah selama

musim dingin. Orang Korea duduk, makan, dan tidur di lantai terus hangat oleh
ondol. Lebar beranda menghubungkan kamar dengan satu kamar lain yang
disebut Daecheong (). Daechong ruang terbuka dengan lantai kayu yang
dibangun untuk menjaga rumah sejuk di musim panas. Bentuk hanok juga
berbeda di setiap wilayah di Korea. Di Korea Utara yang dingin, disusun
bangunan Hanok menyerupai tertutup persegi (atau alfabet hangul: ) sebagai
penahan angin untuk menjaga rumah hangat. Di Korea tengah, kamar ditata
membentuk huruf L (atau hangul abjad: ). Di Korea Selatan, Hanok dibangun
memanjang menyerupai huruf I angin masuk dan keluar dengan mudah.

Bangunan (ruangan) tinggal pria dan wanita dipisahkan sesuai dengan pemikiran
Konfusius. Bangunan Hanok terdiri dari (ruang) disebut haengrangchae,
Sarangchae, anchae, dan Sadang. Haengrangchae membangun untuk kuartal

pelayan, dekat pintu masuk. Sarangchae membangun untuk pria atau kepala
keluarga, termasuk makan dan tidur, dan di depan. "Anchae" adalah bangunan
utama serta ruang tidur bagi perempuan anak-anak kecil, dan terletak di dalam
jauh dari pintu masuk. Kamar untuk altar leluhur disebut (Sadang). Halaman di
tengah membangun sebuah rumah yang disebut (Madang), dan gudang
bangunan yang disebut (gwangchae). Selain itu, Hanok juga sering memiliki
cerobong asap dan pintu gerbang (munganchae).

The Sarangbang was the study and drawing room of the husband.
Although it was connected to the housewife's room in the rear,
outwardly it appeared to have no passage to it. The floor was covered
with laminated paper, the wall was papered white, and the ceiling was
covered with colored paper.
A mattress, seat cushions with a back, various other cushions, long
pillows, a folding screen, reading-writing table, stationery chest of

The traditional Korean house is a complex made up of yards and buildings. It is a general principle that each building h

corresponding yard. The Inner Yard (An-madang) is generally at the center of the house complex, and the Inner Buildin
chae) is at the back of the Inner Yard. The barn and the outhouse are at the sides of the Inner Yard, and the Men's Bui
(Sarang-chae) or the Servants' Building (Haengrang-chae) is at its front.
The backyard is often used as the most private outdoor space. In case of the small house, first the Servants' Building a
the Men's Building is omitted. However, the Men's Room (Sarang-bang) of the Men's Building is often sustained by bein
at the barn.

If the house size gets smaller than that, the house has the organization of 'inner building + barn' which is regarded as
minimal size. The house is demarcated by placing the outer walls of buildings at the boundary of the lot, or by building
made of brushwood, stone, or mud and the like. In this way, the house usually has the definite boundary, which is dee
complement of the relatively open buildings.

In the traditional gentry's home of the past, the master's quarter was built close the main gate, and the housewife's qu
called anchae , was deep inside garden. In less formal commoner's house, anchae was close to the kitchen and the hu
room was across from the anchae with wood-floored hall between them.

It was in sarang chae that the master of the house received guests and condu
conversation on politics, arts, and various disciplines of learning. He read, pain
calligraphy, composed poems, and meditated in this quarter. Accordingly, the f
and other artifacts of the sarang chae were designed to enhance this sense of
tranquility, sincerity, stability, and simplicity. The wood furniture pieces in sara
had simple lines, pleasing proportions, and stable structure.

The Korean wood furniture in the Sarang-Bang

The Korean wood furniture is essentially the product of Korea's floor-living culture as contrasted with chair-living cultur
and China. Korean furniture's proportion, and purpose were dictated by those of the Korean gentry's homes. These we

pieces meant for the center of a room were made easy to relocate in order to ensure a maximum use of limited room s

Korean furniture with low height was made to harmonize with walls and other furniture pieces of the room. The other i
factor influencing the proportion, dimension, and the purpose of Korean wood furniture was the separated quarters for
female members of the family. This strict Confucian separation resulted in subtle differences in the furnishing of the tw

Wood furniture pieces in sarang chae may include such stationery related items as low writing table, document chest,
book chest, two-shelf book chest, and ink-stone set table. Royal paulownia and pine were used most often for the furn
in the master's quarter.

family life. Accordingly, furnishing for the women's quarter were war
