Gangnam RETRO

In most cities, regardless of whether they are in the East or West, elongated parcels predominate, but Korea squared parcels are foremost in design terms. In the elongated parcel, the road is fixed as the main direction, whereas in the square shape, the southern exposure can be found through the orientation of the architecture. In a block initially composed of 66m2 lots, Gangnam RETRO has a new L-shaped lot, neither elongated nor square, combining a 132m2 parcel and another 66m2.

View Box Gram

Dalmaji-gil on the east of Haeundae Beach in Busan, where a street of cherry blossom cast lengthways in spring and every evening is aglow with the beautiful sunset. There is View Box Gram, a six-storey building. Viewed from the outside, it is like a white grid structure in which various-sized glass boxes are embedded at different angles. Each glass box at its different height and position is designed to provide the most optimal view.

CANDLEUM AND SUBSTATION OF THE SHRINE OF OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY OF NAMYANG

The candleum which is a place to offer candles was the first project when embarking upon the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary of Namyang in 2012. The shrine can be recognised as a large cathedral by itself which contains its outdoor space with several prayer walkers. But it is largely divided into social area and religious area.

When I first visited the site, I realised that the best position for the new cathedral would be at the higher reaches of the plot of land, just above the park, as this would provide a way of marking the boundary of the underlying park and emphasising the dramatic gulf between the two towers and the city limits.
