Busan Eco-Center in Nakdong River Estuary, Korea by Atelier Tekuto

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

Article source: Atelier Tekuto

Won first prize at the UIA certified international competition “The Eco-center at the Nakdong River, Busan, Korea” sponsored by Busan City in July 2004 with the basic planning starting in December 2004.  This was the first international competition sponsored by the Korean government, which held difficulties in many aspects regarding different standard and acknowledgement for architecture starting from receipt of the prize up till the completion of the building.  Large issues were the low design fees (which covered design fee for both Japan and Korean teams based on standard level cost which were on three level rates set up in Korea according to content of work, as well as business trips and translation costs), architectural regulations, contract conformation of architectural design (we could not become the legal contractor), and not being able to get involved in the actual field management.

Marin Terrace Resort in Yongho-dong, Korea by Yamasaki.Ku.Hong Associates

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

Article source: Yamasaki.Ku.Hong Associates

Overseeing Oryuk Island and the newly established Marina, the site is located on a spectacular seashore cliff.  The objective of this limited invited design competition is to create a next generation resort-style luxury condominium and a boutique hotel complex which capitalize the ‘amazing view experience’ and provide a ‘maximum privacy’.  By taking advantage of the site condition, we have actively adopted ‘terrace’ concept throughout the site; by locating terraced residences on a cliff edge, the residents are able to experience an ‘undisturbed’ view of the sea as well as ‘open’ residential park in between the villa towers and terrace housing.  We have isolated a single detached villa zone into a ‘gated-community’; thus provide an increased ‘security’ for the residents.  Single detached units are ‘Villa Bar-view’ (Entertainment House) and ‘chateau W-Peaks’ (two generation, two entry house).  Cluster Housing is comprised of two types:  ‘House of Hanging Garden’ (Terrace House) and ‘Casa Cristallo’ (Crystal Cube Tower Housing).
