Axonometric drawing of Hosu clan house. The shrine to Cheong Se-a is located at top, detached from the rest of the house. The front of the house sits above a long retaining wall and consists of a gatehouse connected to the 'sarangchae' (outer quarters, used by men). The remainder of the house, shaped like a "T", is connected to the outer quarters and the gatehouse, creating an "H" shape that allows for two courtyards in an otherwise tight area.
