The first and most essential feature of Hanok is the idea of co-existence of human and nature. Hanok was designed to harmonize with environments and to feel nature even inside of a house. Furthermore, it was built with various natural substances such as stones for basements, wood for pillars, doors and floors, and clay for walls.
Although most houses in Korea have modern style these days, there are still some villages where traditional houses are gathered even in Seoul, one of the most modern city in the world and some beautiful traditional houses are protected as cultural properties.
Many modern architects put high value on Hanok’s nature-friendly property and try to introduce this in modern buildings.
