There are many ways to bring nature closer: creating a small garden, opening a roof to the sky, or adding touches of green to everyday spaces. Chomoksook, nestled in Gyeongju, brings nature indoors in just these ways. Shades of green weave through a simple interior in muted tones, while a small courtyard offers a view to linger over throughout your stay. A day at Chomoksook begins with giving familiar pleasures the time they deserve. Slowly sipping a cup of tea, or lingering over a meal prepared together. In the calm of an uncluttered space beneath high ceilings, it becomes a little easier to listen closely to the person beside you. Open the living room door and stroll through the garden with your pet, or spend the afternoon soaking in the outdoor jacuzzi. In the evening, settle beside the fire and let the conversation continue. At Chomoksook, ordinary moments - a view of a small garden, a shared cup of tea- become memories of a restful stay.

Inside Chomoksook, courtyard plants and green tiles bring different expressions of green into the home. Open to the sky, the courtyard can be seen from the living room, kitchen, and bedroom. Tiles in the kitchen and around the washbasin carry nature’s colors into the quiet interior. A high pitched ceiling and a continuous band of clerestory windows bring light and a sense of openness to the intimate space. The living room has a dedicated space for enjoying tea with a view of this small garden. Take your time brewing tea, share a cup, and watch the light settle into the courtyard. With greenery close at hand, it is a place to settle in and linger.
