Hamokjeong Pavilion, Dalseong

Hamokjeong Pavilion, Dalseong, is a pavilion-style detached residence built around 1604 by Yi Jong-mun (pen name Nakpo, 1566–1638). It combines a wooden-floored hall of three bays across the front and two bays deep with adjoining rooms of one bay across the front and four bays deep, the two parts joining to form an overall plan in the shape of the Chinese character 丁 ("jeong"), a distinctive arrangement. Hamokjeong is unusual not only for this 丁-shaped plan but also for its use: master and servants lived together within the same building, which is highly unusual. Built in the mid-Joseon period, this pavilion-style detached residence, with its distinctive plan, shows many notable features in its spatial composition, detailing and design, and is of outstanding historical, architectural and academic value.
