The style of this house is common in central parts of the Korean peninsula, mostly Chungcheong Province. It is also known as the "L shaped house" since it resembles the Korean letter "L". [kiot]

A Korean house is not only a living space, but also a place where all sorts of ceremonies and seasonal games are held.
