Hanok refers to houses built in the traditional
Korean style. Korean architecture considers the positioning of the
house in relation to its surroundings, with thought given to the land
and seasons. While tile-roofed and thatch-roofed hanoks were equally

traditional hanok that are still used for housing have modern
facilities installed within.
