The Presidential Residence, where the president and his or her family lived, was built to delineate between the president's official and private duties. The residence embodies traditional Korean wooden architecture with a hipped-tile roof crowned with Korean blue tiles.

Its living quarters and guest meeting areas are arranged in a “giyeok” (ㄱ) shape, and a traditional Korean courtyard and annex are located in the front yard. The main gate is built as a three-doored entrance and accentuates the ambience of a traditional Korean house.
