The name
The name Hanok has two special meanings for us. Hanok is the term for traditional Korean architecture that considers the design of the structure in relation to its surroundings, with careful thought to the impact in the local community and the changing of the seasons. We help build our client companies knowing the best companies are those carefully considering the ever-changing nature of customers, suppliers, and employees.
We’d love to share the second meaning when we meet face to face.
