Official Residence of Seoul National University’s South Experimental Forest, Gwangyang

Built during the Japanese colonial period, this building is a staff residence erected on state forest land that had been leased to Tokyo Imperial University, consisting of two buildings arranged side by side. The exterior walls are finished in brick up to head height, with plaster and timber boarding above. Inside, rooms are arranged around a central corridor; ventilation windows are set above the thresholds between rooms, and the window frames project from the walls — features that reveal the spatial organisation typical of Japanese houses.
