I noticed a trend of downsizing along recent developments s compared with those built in s and s. According forums. The average size of apartment units in Seoul came to Another Finally, 8. According www. However same source says that in were 12,, dwelling units, South Korea population being 47,, according Wikipedia, resulting 3. Stated floor areas does include wall thickness and balconies, also common balcony at rear of unit in case of corridor-style apartments, but exclude staircase and lift lobby.
Many english websites state that Korean apartments are around 30 and 50 sqm, but they are referring at the officetel given for free for english teachers in Korea, NOT to real apartments for Korean families. Korean families are strong and children do not move out until marriage, thus small apartments are not needed. But my question is about what are doing the parents after children moved out, do they really need sqm and 3 bedrooms? Many apartment complexes do not offer units less than sqm.
South Korea is one of the few countries in the world which had a residential building as tallest building: Mok-dong Hyperion , 69 floors and Samsung Tower Palace G , 73 floors. Many skyscrapers were built in recent years, Lotte World Tower meters, floors was completed in Traditional Korean houses are single-storey and have floor heating.
Most people were living in crowded conditions without sewage and running water. The first apartment complex was built in but did not attracted much attention. Mapo apartment complex built from to began the revolution.
Consisted of 10 six-story buildings and housed families. The flats were pyeong 30 to 50 square meters. Very few Koreans were ready to live at height of the 5th and 6th floor. Apart from height, people did not like other features. The early apartment complexes lacked the traditional floor heating and were warmed by radiators. Mapo apartment was demolished in The real boom of apartment complex began in the early s. In the Banpo apartments became the first complex with traditional heated floors rather than Western-style radiators, in the first complexes the the heated floors were only in bedrooms but later the entire living space became heated in this traditional way.
This made apartments even more appealing to Koreans. Jamsil apartments built in s was the first large-scale complex that included schools, parks and commercial centers, apartments spread on 1.

Phases composed by walk-up blocks being demolished in and redeveloped, Phase 5 with storey blocks still standing. The s and s had a construction boom of unprecedented proportions. In , only By this share more than doubled, Preference for apartments is growing. In a poll, 41 percent of respondents said they would choose to live in apartments, in , 77 percent gave the same answer. In , the average Korean apartment was 32 pyeong, more than double the size of the largest flat in the Mapo complex. Korea have one of the biggest, if not the biggest apartments in the world!

Jamsil close-up of phase left and phase 5 right , notice open balconies. Jamsil photo from when Phase 3 and 4 were demolished. Korean public housing history began in At this moment I do not have experience to distinguish public housing from private housing, all looks similar. They pays attention to apartment efficiency rather to land usage efficiency or layout diversity or distinctive designs.
Construction ratio was slower than urbanization ratio, making Korea to have one of the most expensive real estate prices in s. In the government realized that cannot resolve the housing shortage without adequate supply of land, started the Two Million Houses Construction Project, built ratio overtook demand and this kept prices steadily until today. Aimed to to reach housing units per people. As having a high-tech industry, the country is dominated by high-tech architecture with steel and glass buildings. Korean cities, together with Chinese cities, are the most monotonous cities in the world, every city have big apartment complexes with rows of identical buildings without any distinctive features.
But this contribute to national equilibrium… and I still love it! All blocks are narrow and have long apartments, with many rooms as possible on frontal facade. All blocks have the frontal facade oriented to south or southwest or southeast , with other words, are not arranged with facades front-to-front and back-to-back, but front-to-back. Unlike the western world apartments, Korean apartments have no distinction between day and night areas, the living room and kitchen-dining room are nearly always placed in the center of apartment, while the bedrooms 4 bedrooms in average are placed in each corner to enhance privacy.
Some 4-room segmented blocks have 30 by 10 meters, all four rooms living room and three bedrooms are oriented to south facade, on the north facade are located only kitchen, bathrooms, staircase, and lift lobby. Walls are probably load-bearing, I can guess this by lack of hacked walls in renovating apartments. Rooms are perfectly rectangular with no columns or beams protruding in rooms. Sometimes both floor areas with and without balconies are displayed. Except some recent private developers, all apartment dimensions are divisible by 30 cm, most by 90 cm too, for example 2. This is weird… and is not imperial system, because 1 feet would be Standard floor to floor height is 2.
Doors are tall almost reaching the ceiling, not like 2 meters doors in western countries.

These compact apartments have 4 rooms 3 bedrooms, small as sqm and a single bathroom, all in 84 sqm of which balconies are about 20 sqm. In case of the the 3-room and smaller apartments, the living room have sliding doors to be converted in a 3rd bedroom.
In a programme to improve apartments was launched, building new rooms and enlarging units, but it was implemented in just few cases, read more Apartment Remodeling Policies in Korea. They are minimum 1. Early balconies had concrete parapet at bedrooms and with metal railing at living room, sometimes curved, thus enclosing balconies was difficult, balconies were continuous without supporting columns except at end.
After s or s balconies have straight metal rail and supporting columns aligned with internal walls to facilitate closure of balconies and extension of rooms. Few open balconies can be still seen in the old blocks. A visitor of my website told me that the city authorities control the developments by gross floor area ratio, and the balconies are not counted as gross floor area, so nowadays the developers are building small rooms to fit in gross floor area limit, apartment floor area is indicated without balconies, while the balconies are provided as bonus space, developers offer to residents to extend rooms into balconies for an extra fee.
However in s and maybe in s too apartment floor area was indicated with balconies included, thus I do not fully understand how this legal loophole started. Some staircase-style blocks are L-shaped with 3 or Y-shaped with 4 apartments per floor. Corridor-style blocks are no longer common. Walk-up blocks still built in low numbers, now 3-storey only. Since s every room in Korean apartments have a balcony like this.
The reason for which the door is still here is that the floor heating was not installed in balcony. South Korea government choose to redevelop various areas of landed houses as well as old apartment complexes, into new apartments. Compared with Singapore where many people are looking to buy old flats purposely to be redeveloped via SERS programme , in South Korea many people protest against redevelopment as told by a visitor of this page. Residents receive a compensation based on market prices and they need to buy themselves a new apartment, which is often unaffordable, new apartments being bigger and more luxurious cost a lot more than the value of old properties.

Brand new apartments, before having all balconies closed. Korean housing is composed by public housing, simple-looking blocks with ground parking above photos ; then some complexes similar with public housing in block shape but featuring underground car parks and wall motifs did not know if they are semi-public or full private housing ; then the luxury apartment complexes below photos , easy to distinguish due to non-standard block shapes and, in most cases, helipad on the roof.
The rest of city is composed by private low-rise individual apartment buildings mixed with single family homes, I do not know the sizes of these, but according numerous Youtube videos made by english teachers in Korea, there are numerous 1-room apartments. Korean automotive industry had the most spectacular growth of the world. The explosion of cars causes a lot of parking problems, visible in this funny photo the snow proof that even the driveway was filled with parked cars.
