I'm really intrigued by this content. Here we have some ancient buildings of noble families, but they are very different from this. Maybe the most similar was the Roman Domus in the III century b.C., but they were just few similar and just in the plan. I love the concept of Byeol Dang. I have to say that another part of this house that is very interesting for me is the room for death, every country/cultures have different ceremonies about the death. Here in Italy, before Christianity, the rooms for death were full of colors thanks some paintings on the wall where there were happy scenes of the men before they dead, as a nice way to accompany the dead in his "travel". After Christianity, the only color that we associate to the dead is black.
