Abstract Plenty of researchers have paid attention to the traditional dwelling of korea since 1970's. Various approaches on the traditional way of dwelling design produced deep and broad understanding such as regional, periodical, social class characteristics etc. However these understandings have covered only on south korea. As far as north korea, very few studies have been added after korean war. Very fortunately, a recent research discovered some of dwelling drawings drawn by immigrants, which provided the new possibility on reviewing the characteristics of north korean dwelling. Based on these examples, this paper discusses the differences of dwelling design among social classes and design characteristics of high class dwellings mainly inhabited by rich peasant in Hamkyeong province.
