Mr. Nam Kwon Hee
Your Host and The Team
“My wife is a writer, and she wanted to live in a hanok and write. She took me to a friend’s house who lived in a hanok in Seoungbuk-dong about 10 years ago and showed me around, and it was beautiful and nice. That’s when I thought, “I want to live in a Hanok as well” The first house I built as a Christian is a temple (laughs). But since then, I have fallen in love with the charm of Hanok. Hanok, a house with the philosophy of our ancestors, is a world-beautiful architecture with the beauty of the house itself, but it is the best comprehensive art with the idea of ‘elf-unification’.”
“A beautiful Hanok with a rich history of past royalty residency. The traditional aura of the establishment creates an atmosphere of peace and calmness. There is a combination of traditional features and modernized amenities in each room.”
Kim, the discoverer.
