What does an apartment in Korea mean?

From the composition of the external space, Korean apartments are modern translations of traditional Korean houses. The mainstream housing of Koreans is "apartment". More than 90% Koreans live in apartments or similar apartments. These functional organisms have no external space.

In Korea, apartments are the main type of living for most people, accounting for about 60% of all housing types. The house price is high, and the "house grabbing war" is getting worse. In June 2020, a high-rise apartment in Seoul launched a new house 1 10, which once attracted 37,400 buyers, with an average of 340 people snapping up 1 apartment.

The upsurge of buying houses in Seoul has also spread to neighboring cities. In June, 2020, 1 1, 1000, a new property was launched in Guo Chuan, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea's capital circle. More than 470,000 buyers came to register and the winning rate was as low as 470:1.

Features of Korean apartments:

Each external space has different functions for different rooms. In addition, some external spaces are even related to the street outside the wall. Apartments have many external spaces similar to traditional Korean houses, each of which is interrelated and has different functions for a single room. When you open the gate, you enter an open roof space, which is connected to the restaurant through an atrium.

The atrium is also related to the front garden connecting the living room, and the front garden is also related to the deck on the second floor. In architecture, most of the external space is located inside the house, while the house, south facade and south garden try to connect or communicate with the surrounding streets.
