Ondol is a traditional system of under-floor heating developed in Joseon dynasty Korea.
Ondol became relatively widespread in the 1600s, and was effected by a system of warmed stones kept under the floor of a wooden building; people enjoyed the heat by walking around with their shoes off, or by sitting or lying on the floor. Ceilings were built at a lower height in order to help keep the heat in.
