Mungyeong Byeon Dong-sik House

This house is a traditional timber-framed dwelling in a U-shaped plan, built in 1941, in the late Japanese colonial period, by Byeon Bong-gyu, great-grandfather of the current owner Byeon Dong-sik; it is a residence notable for the excellence of its materials and its framing techniques. While following traditional timber-construction methods, it also incorporates details of modern architecture, such as glass windows, narrow passageways and bolt-and-nut joints. It is a rare example that allows one to trace the historical and cultural change of the region, being a house in which elements of modern style were absorbed into the indigenous residential culture of the Mungyeong area.
