The traditional house of Korea is called hanok. Hanok is a unique housing culture that was created in response to the distinct four seasons of Korea where both extreme hot weather and cold weather exist. A hypocaust is installed on the floor and a fire is made in the fireplace to heat up the floor and make the room warm. For ventilation during the hot summer, the house had a wooden floor hall called daecheong maru.

The structure of the hanok is characterized by the strict separation of living spaces for men and women, especially in the upper class. Once you enter the large gate called soteul daemun, there is a sarangchae where the men stayed to study and greet the guests. Sarangchae was built higher than other buildings in the house to represent the authority of the household and the owner of sarangbang. Across from the sarangbang fence is an anchae, a space designated for the ladies where outsider could not enter without permission.
