Cheongwadae is the presidential residence of the Republic of Korea and is regarded as the heart of the nation. It is comprised of the main presidential office, reception rooms, conference rooms and living quarters; annexes for Chunchugwan and Yeongbingwan, the Secretariat and Security Service Office; and gardens and ponds in front and back. The two-storied granite presidential office is covered with blue roof tiles, from which the name of Cheongwadae was derived (“Cheongwa” means blue roof tile in Korean). The Blue House is in fact a complex of buildings, built largely in the traditional Korean architectural style with some modern elements.
