This designation, a first since the Hot Springs Act was established in 2010, is part of Gyeongnam Province’s “Bugok Hot Springs Revitalization Policy.”
Chuseok, in a nutshell, is a festivity of the full moon, a gathering of family members, a homage to parents with gifts, the preparation of a sumptuous feast and the performance of ancestral rites at home with the feast before it is served among family members. First and foremost, it s a common courtesy to visit and trim the grass of ancestral graves before the holiday.
South Korea's hanok homes informed the design of this house on a mountainside in Bugok, which TRU Architects designed with semi-outdoor spaces for relaxing.
