Abstract The purpose of this study was to analyze the arrangement of rooms in Park Gil-ryong’s housing plans to understand the influence of ondol on his design. Architect Park published diverse housing plans in Korean newspapers and magazines. Out of them, this study attempts to select the urban housing for the middle class as an object of analysis, and clarify the mutual relationship between the ondol and their room arrangement. This study is significant because it gives a precious opportunity to understand Park’s ideas on housing improvement in the 1930s, and how his ideas affected other architects.
