Abstract
This paper analyses the An-chae with wings of the houses in the inland region of Jollanam Province to identify the architectural characteristics and to demonstrate the spatial differences. The findings are as follows. Firstly, the layout of the building has a significant impact on the external space. This is especially the case with the An-chae with wings, where the interior space affects the exterior space. While houses with a l-shaped An-chae have rather dull exterior spaces, houses with An-chae with wings have diversified external spaces, such as a public space in the front and a private space in the rear. Secondly, the most important characteristic of the An-chae with wings is that it is integrated with a building plan adapting the changes in the architectural requirements of the early modernization era. The spatial division of the An-chae has given rise to its function as both a private space, centring on the master bedroom, and a public space, centring on the Geonneon-bang. And lastly, the number of rooms and the area of the An-chae with wings of Boseong are proportional. The number of rooms and the area of the An-chae with wings of Hwasun are inversely proportional. Additionally, houses in Boseong are not very different in terms of private, public, and buffer zones, whereas houses in Hwasun show significant differences in terms of the zones.
