description This study addresses the transformation of contemporary Hanok – a Korean traditional housing – by comparing its floor plans before and after remodeling. Based on this comparative analysis, the transformation of Korean dwelling style and its significance are discussed. Both pre-remodeling and post-remodeling spaces are represented in the form of a convex map, and the integration value of each space is quantified through the Space Syntax model. Spatial analysis on the transformations of contemporary Hanok demonstrates that traditional dwelling space of Hanok has been dismantled and reorganized. Such transformations are closely associated with the changes in the dwelling style of Koreans. In the remodeled contemporary Hanok, each space is connected to each other by Toi-maru and Corridor, which are also interiorized so that Madang and the building are thoroughly separated. Compared to the previous spatial composition where the spaces were connected by Madang, the depth of each space in the remodeled Hanok was deepened, and this change mainly contributed to the overall decrease in the integration values after remodeling. This study has significance as it confirmed that a new form of Hanok has emerged to cope with contemporary lifestyle by analyzing the changes in the spatial structure of recently remodeled Hanok.
