The name of Korean traditional house is 'Han OK'
'Han Ok' means literally Korean House.
It is common thing that style and structure of every traditonal architecture reflect it's own natural background.
In korea, natural element which have effected on korean traditonal architecture was Mountain and sunshine.
Especially the eaves of the Korean traditional house has been known to have close relations with degrees of sunshine.
So the Han Ok was designed that it could receive more sunshine at Spring and less subshine in Summer.
Of course it shows the power of its owner.
The roofs of Han Ok have similarty with mountain.
The roofs should've had interanal and external combination with mountain.
So It is very interesting to observe the formation and structure of the traditional house.
One day during having a tour for observation, I found some interesting scene.
The ivy tree wound the house round its stems.
This combinaton looked beautiful to me
Below are the pics
I had taken this pics one month ago.
I 'd like to see how that ivy and the house make a combination.
Actually the korean traditonal house is the best symbol in korean beauty.
