Seongju Suseongnijungmaedaek House

Built in the early 20th century, this house is unusual for the Seongju region in that it was raised on a high stone platform built up with granite. Made up of five separate buildings, the house comprises the main hall (anchae), the men's quarters (sarangchae), the main gateway, the storehouse wing, and the inner gate. While retaining the basic layout and structural framework of a traditional house, it stands out for the way the pantry, the main bedroom, and the kitchen are organically linked around the kitchen's back yard, allowing household chores to be carried out efficiently. The house is a fine example of how, from the early 20th century, rational spatial arrangements began to appear within the traditional house's spatial composition, keeping pace with the changing times.
