Hwang Clan Jongson House in Jocheon-ri

A characteristic of Jeju Island's tile-roofed houses is that, because of the strength of the wind, the roof tiles are especially large, and the eaves and the area around the ridge are sealed with lime mortar, creating a distinctive appearance. The pitch of the roof is shallow, like that of a thatched house, and it has no concave curve at the eaves nor upturned hip rafters. Compared with a thatched house, the roof is heavier, so thick, sturdy timber members are used and the finish is more refined, but the floor plan and bay arrangement are not very different.
