SPACE Jun 2024 (No. 679)
Located 200m from Cheongdam Station, the office is surrounded by Bongeunsa Temple, Kyunggi High School, and Hangang Park, making it one of the lowest-density developed area in Gangnam. Even after the office was built, efforts were made to maintain the green area of the original site by using rooftop landscaping and wall greening as well as cultivating the courtyard landscape for over 17 years to add vitality to the neighbourhood. Passive and active design is applied to the office building, which enhances energy efficiency, reflected in the considerations for the site, such as light, wind, and the spatial experience. With high ceilings, spacious rest areas, separate meeting rooms, and recently remodeled dining areas, architects’ creativity and job satisfaction are enhanced, while delicate details and spatial arrangements reveal the completeness of the work conducted in the office.
