*''Korean'': 韓屋 ''(han ok)''
''Hanok'' are the chief style of traditional [[Joseon Dynasty]] Korean residential architecture. As with ''[[machiya]]'' in [[Kyoto]], many ''hanok'' can be found today which have been maintained, restored, or built anew to serve as restaurants, bed & breakfast accommodations, shops, and the like. Neighborhoods such as Bukchon in [[Seoul]] are popular among both locals and tourists for their ''hanok''-lined streets.
Common features of a ''hanok'' include papered lattice doors and windows and tiled roofs.
''Hanok'' often included a study, known in Korean as a ''sarangbang''.
Underfloor heating, known as ''ondol'', was developed in the 17th century and involved circulating hot air from a furnace under the floors of a home.
