Triplet Code Imun is located on the corner of a large street leading from the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies station to four universities, including Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. It is a very busy area with cars and pedestrians coming and going. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Triplet Code Imun. The black upper floors, contrasting with the white lower floors, make the upper volume appear to float, and the vertical segmentation of the upper floor elevation creates a perspectival illusion that makes the upper floors appear longer.
