Kim Clan Old House in Dongmae-ri, Hadong

The finishing of the timber and the shaping of the structural members are well judged, giving the building a scale that is neither exaggerated nor understated, while the small flower bed set in front of the middle gate relieves the monotony of a deep sightline, lending it a pleasing compositional quality; such features reflect the modern thinking of the time it was built and show that the spatial composition was carefully conceived. It is also an important resource for research into architectural history, since it reflects both geographical characteristics and the overlapping cultures of the Yeongnam and Honam regions.
