What is Korean's Home?

the minga (homes of the common people) - the satchip (the "weed" house)

The shapes and functions of roofs varied a great deal as they were built in response to natural surroundings and cultural demands. Depending on the materials used for the roofs, thatched-roof houses, the satchip (the "weed" house) is one of the roof types among wood- or stone-shingled and oak-bark houses. A thatched roof was made of the dried rice stalks, the most easily available material. The soft curve, muted color, and gentle texture of thatched roofs imbued a feeling of comfort, softness, and warmth.
