SPACE Jun 2024 (No. 679)

 

 

As ONE O ONE architects has grown in size, its main considerations when looking for a new office space were that the surrounding environment would remain relatively unchanged in the future and would provide a view of natural landscapes despite being in the city centre. The office settled in the current space, which is located near Yonsei University and Ewha Womans University, with a view of the forest. It is easy for university students to come on field trips, there¡¯s a parking lot, seminar rooms, and people are regularly invited to participate in talks and conversations in the office. The office is a rented space, which limits architectural experimentation, but efforts were made to preserve the essence of ONE O ONE architects¡¯ pursuit of structure, material disclosure, and attention to detail in some aspects. Completing the space was based on the concept of ¡®sensory emptiness¡¯ rather than just ¡®walls¡¯, embedding a sense of responsiveness to the surrounding environment throughout the space, which was also applied and made continuous with the furniture as well.
