A
traditional Korean house is called
'HanOk'. It has a unique floor-heating
system, Ondol.
And GiWa was used on top of the YanBan's
houses.
Living areas were divided into
a high, mid and low sections. AnChae
(the main building) and the SaRangChae
(the men's sitting room) were used
by the elite YangBan class. The lower
section, which was located closest
to the main gate, served as living
quarters for the servants. The mid
section was attached to the JungMun
(the inner gate) and was used by middle-class
household managers. |
