A tranquil pause amid the shimmering waves of jade
Crafted from five fundamental elements—stone, wood, water, iron, and the architect's contemplative spirit—Nosong Ojae stands as an embodiment of the past and present. For over fifty years, this hanok has gracefully stood its ground in the heart of Jeonju's Chomsamaeul village, preserving its historical significance while seamlessly embracing contemporary living.
As you step into the courtyard, an ancient pine tree extends its welcoming branches, and the spacious elevated platform seamlessly connects the interior with the world beyond. The flow of time, the tranquil rhythms of the seasons, and the gentle dance of stars and breezes can all be fully embraced here. Upon entering the interior, your eyes are immediately drawn to the jade-colored indoor bath—an oasis of relaxation. Through a window overlooking the external garden, you can bask in the soothing embrace of a jacuzzi experience that seamlessly blends with the natural surroundings. In the bedroom, a forward-facing screen invites you to immerse yourself in cinematic moments, while a simple glance towards the window offers a serene view of the courtyard and sky.
Nestled adjacent to Jeonju Hanok Village, Nosong Ojae provides an opportunity to explore the rich tapestry of cultural treasures and local delights on foot. Yet, within the tranquil confines of Nosong Ojae, there exists an enchanting world—a space to contemplate the five elements that compose its essence, a place to unhurriedly unfold your journey through time.
