During the Joseon period, Gahoe-dong served as a residential area for upper-class citizens, including the royal family, and therefore had a relatively large number of large-scale lots compared to other regions. By the 1930s, however, these lots were divided into smaller parcels sized at around 30 pyeong (99 square meters). A group of new hanok was then built on these lots, leading to Gahoe-dong’s transformation into an urban-type hanok village in the city.<ref>Song In-ho, “Dosihyeong hanok-ui yuhyeong yeongu” (A study on the types of urban hanok) (PhD diss., Seoul National University, 1990), pp. 36–42.</ref>

By the 1930s, however, these lots were divided into smaller parcels sized at around 30 ''pyeong'' (99 square meters). A group of new ''hanok'' was then built on these lots, leading to Gahoe-dong’s transformation into an urban-type hanok village in the city.<ref>Song In-ho, “Dosihyeong hanok-ui yuhyeong yeongu” (A study on the types of urban hanok) (PhD diss., Seoul National University, 1990), pp. 36–42.</ref>
  
The urban-type hanok residences of Gahoe-dong formed a tree-like street system. This system was formed based on the tendency of such streets to extend in a north-south direction based on the topographic slope of the area. Since most of the lots were directly connected to the sloped road, stairs were installed at the entrance of houses to counter the angle of the hills.<ref>Jeon Nam-il, Hanguk jugeo-ui gonggansa (Spatial history of Korean houses) (Paju: Dolbegae, 2013), p. 35.</ref>

The floor plan of a typical Gahoe-dong urban-type hanok is a U-shape that surrounds the courtyard. Most of these houses had an entrance on the southern or eastern side of the structure. Since urban-type hanok were structured after remaining foundations of past homes, the direction of the entrance was thought of as a primary consideration. Most house entrances faced the east or west side of a U-shaped building opened to the south.  Typical houses opened to the south with an eastward-facing entrance. This way, the daecheong had southern exposure while the entrance and kitchen were facing each other.<ref>Song In-ho, “Dosihyeong hanok-ui yuhyeong yeongu” (A study on the types of urban hanok), p.152.</ref> If the entrance of the house was on the north side, then the building opened to the east.<ref>Ibid., pp. 139–140.</ref>

House suppliers used several methods to raise the value of an urban hanok.

By the 1930s, however, these lots were divided into smaller parcels sized at around 30 pyeong (99 square meters). A group of new hanok was then built on these lots, leading to Gahoe-dong’s transformation into an urban-type hanok village in the city.[1]
