Stay B Hotel in Seoul, South Korea by Seoinn Design Group

<STAY B Hotel> is located in the middle of Myeong-dong. If it is a feature, this site is very irregular, and as a result, this exerted a major influence in the building showing an irregular form as well.

There were two main points of this project. The first was to construct a building that does not seem small on a small site, and the second was to design 'protruding windows'. Regarding the former, the distance from the pedestrian passage to the entrance of the first-floor lobby is quite far, unlike the size of the small plot. It creates a feeling as if entering a large hotel.

It does not mean that only the floor space index was filled to the maximum value just because it does not seem small. Rather, it is minimizing the use of unnecessary spaces or decorations, and somewhat calmingly revealing the identity of the building instead of splendidly introducing it.

Meanwhile, the protruding windows from the outside are also spaces of relaxation and view, where people can sit and lie down, when seen from the use of the interior space. I have traveled overseas a lot, there were hardly any cases where there were protruding windows than I thought, and so the actions that could be done at the window were limited. On the protruding windows of Chungmuro Hotel, three people can sufficiently sit, and when sitting alone, one can lean against the window and stretch out their legs. Won't the windows be more meaningful in Myeong-dong, which has now become a tourist attraction? The practicality was worried over, but the produced result was more than that.

Although it may be possible to gorgeously expose itself in Seoul, Asia's splendid hub, the gesture of forming a relationship as if it was distancing itself and as if it wasn't, could also be a method.
