The structural format from the “Magok Hive” is the same as “Urban Hive”, which is own designed in 2008. By combining columns and beams diagonally, it created a structural wall in which the flow of gravity came down straight and removed the gap between the stress lines. When a glass-wall that divides the interior is separated from the structural wall, the structural wall can be an exterior skin. This method is based on the principle from the Korean traditional building, “Hanok”. In the case of “Hanok”, there are the exterior skins behind the wooden structure.

This instinct really comes into its own in the company’s newly built headquarters: An office that meets all the demands of modern work environments, while paying a colourful tribute to the company’s unique identity wherever the eye falls. The design response provided by the IFG team was therefore not only smart but also: colourful!
