Sobokchae modular Hanok in a landscaped setting

SOBOKCHAE · 소복채

Small modules.
A complete Hanok life.

Combine standardized Hanok modules around a traditional daecheong wooden porch to create a private retreat, second home or distinctive guest accommodation.

Designed to combine.
Made to feel complete.

Sobokchae means “our Hanok filled with small, everyday happiness.”

Three standardized room modules—A, B and C—can be paired around a two-to-three-pyeong daecheong porch. The result is a flexible modern Hanok that preserves timber structure, roofline and the relationship between rooms and nature.

Approximately 90% of the structure and interior work is completed in the factory. The modules are transported to the site, connected and finished with on-site roof construction.

Each module is an independent timber-framed volume. Choose compact, standard or large, then combine two modules around the daecheong porch.
