Jo Gun-hyeon House

A distinctive feature of Jeju Island's tiled-roof houses is that the roof tiles are especially large because of the strong winds, and the eaves and ridge are finished with lime mortar, giving the roofline a distinctive appearance. The pitch of the roof is shallow, as on a thatched house, and it has neither the inward-curving eaves line (anheori) nor upturned hip rafters (chunyeo) seen on grander tiled roofs. Compared with a thatched house, the roof is heavier, so thick, sturdy timber is used and the finish is more elaborate, although the layout of the floor plan is not very different.
