Modern Korean-style House in Odeok-ri, Pohang

This house is a modern-period hanok (traditional Korean house) built in a loosely enclosed, mouth-shaped ('口') layout, comprising a straight-shaped main hall (anchae), an L-shaped men's quarters (sarangchae), and a straight-shaped outer quarters (araechae). It clearly shows the characteristics of modern-period hanok: buildings arranged compactly around a central courtyard, a functional floor plan, rational structural techniques using standardised timber, tall windows and doors without a meoreum (the low sill usually set beneath traditional lattice windows), panelled doors influenced by Western-style windows, and well-developed storage spaces.
