Gwangju Dongmyeong-dong Hanok Bookstay Hanok1974 @hanok1974

HANOK1974 is a hanok located in a quiet residential area in Dongmyeong-dong, Gwangju's old city center. We dreamed of 'living our daily life like a trip' in a space full of our own taste, away from the apartment, and fixed the hanok. We wanted to balance the familiarity of everyday life with the novelty of travel. Please take the time to feel the warmth and freshness in the combination of modern furniture that has been completed in the rafters of the hanok, which has been piled up over the years. You can sit on the floor or sofa and enjoy tea while listening to music. Enjoy a warm tea and reflection while touching the carefully crafted furniture. The book is prepared as a manuscript focusing on architecture, interior, flowers, plants, and photography. I hope that the sensual images encountered at the travel destination will become a new vitality in everyday life.
