SPACE Jun 2024 (No. 679)
After building and moving to the Harvest Mansion with friends in 2019, mundoehoje took place nearby. The natural element of Bulgwangcheon Stream, the low density of old residences, and the walkability of the neighbourhood without much hustle and bustle were the main reasons for choosing Eungam-dong. The building, which is named Rainbow Inn, as a café on the first floor and a staycation site and office on the second floor, making frequent contact with the local community. They wanted the office to be a part of the local community, even if it was small, rather than just a place to work. Due to the narrow and elongated shape of the site, the building was designed with a plan proportional to 5.5 × 12m. With a mix of commercial facilities, offices, and residences, each space was proportioned quite dramatically, reflecting the character of the site itself and creating a place where you can feel a unique scale. The notion of experimenting with scale aligns with the direction pursued by the office to some extent.
