The client demanded a design that considered co-prosperity with local residents while maintaining the passage of shopping malls and houses in the back that were being made through notices on the site.
Above all, due to the narrow and large space inside the road, there were discussions on whether to place it close to the road for access and cognition of the building or on the rear considering the usability of the building.

The client wanted to build a house that would grow older together with him. Just like his own desire to become older as a parent on whom his two children, who are now teenagers, would be able to come back to rely even after they go out to the world in search of their own lives in the future, he wanted his house as well to be the place where his children could come and rest at any time.
The site of EMK Musical Company is located at the crossroads where Nonhyeonno – one of the major roads in Gangnam, Seoul – and Nambusunhwan-ro intersect with each other. The future benefits, which will accrue from the high rent in Gangnam, especially the high rent on the ground floor, induce conflicts between the program and the desire for the office building space with abundant interior and exterior space (including the exterior space on the ground).
Hyundai Premium Outlet Space 1 was opened in Dasan New Town, Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do. It is the first gallery-type outlet in Korea, and adds cultural and artistic elements such as art gallery and park. Its name “SPACE 1” also took the first letter of “Shopping, Play, Art, Culture, Experience” and added “1” with the meaning of one. The overall design direction was also “Everyone’s Holiday”, establishing its identity as “a holiday for everyone”.
One of notable spaces is the symbolic CUBE that connects indoor and outdoor. It creates various expressions and landscapes within the space, where each area overlaps and connects through the design concept “Pairing Cities”. This forms a three-dimensional facade, and provides an interesting spatial sense. Besides, by blurring the brands’ boundaries, it makes visitors experience a variety of moving line connecting shopping areas and rest areas naturally.

The city of Seoul expresses the epitome of a complex city that is a cross between the present and the past. It shows the concurrence of the historical architecture of the palace, the mountain nature that originally existed, and modern architecture. It is a city that contains various aspects of life, programs that are different or incompatible, and natural urban elements at the same time. The conflicting scene in Seoul can be seen as an important clue for finding the true nature of architecture. It is not simply a physical environment, but has a variety of discoveries that question the essence of the mental identity that urban residents should have. The Dohwaseogil Project, the government office in charge of paintings from the Choseon Dynasty, was the cradle and center of traditional Korean painting, and had to overcome the conflict between its memory as a historical place and modern commercialized programs.
Imagination pavillion was a project suggesting the existing old observatory to the new one. The observatory for amusement and a view where we could meet nature and overlook cityscape, doesn’t only serve functional role but also would like to suggest a pavillion with new imagination. The barrier free zone which is located along a trail is a regional nature community space which is most loved and used by local people who are meeting the nature. The imagination pavillion which has installed in the peak of the trail is a final destination for easy strolling but also a connection between another nature world and the city, new landscape amusement, and a starting point for the other journey. We designed panorama vertical trail which is a playground for a relationship of the nature and inhabitants, which naturally gets related after watching the nature landscape at the observatory, and also strolls inside the forest. Through this, it suggests a poetic pavilion assimilates with nature, incorporates and amuses the forest and sky, and an attractive observatory which actively combines formative mystique and nature inside the mountain.
The formation of a city in which various architectural types, materials, and forms are constructed is both a strength and a weakness of Heyri Village. It failed to create any order in the province and became a city freely composed of diversity. Instead of creating another complexity in a complex city, we tried to construct an architectural space through the wall, the most basic architectural vocabulary. The walls of the past are classical by structural limitations and have limitations that block spatial communication. By transforming these past walls, we try to create experiences and situations that have been changed by the chronotope setting.
