Hanok: The Korean House provides new insights on the stylish traditional homes
that are increasingly popular in Seoul today. While the exteriors of these houses
are indistinguishable from traditional Hanok that were built decades ago, the
insides have completely changed and adapted with the times. Korea is a nation
that has radically transformed itself in recent decades, yet amidst the glass-andsteel
skyscrapers and luxury apartments, the traditional Korean home or Hanok
still survives and plays a surprisingly important role. This book showcases 12
very special Hanok that have been selected to reflect the Korea of today-a
country of traditional values with a modern approach.
