Design
Site
간선도로 이면 블록 단위로 지정된 상업지역, 토지이용 효율이 높은 대지다. 지가가 높고 유동인구가 많은 데 비해 도로 폭이 좁다.
Challenge
자동차 동선이 중요한 대지인데도 자주식 주차가 불가능한 면적이었다. 주변이 대부분 소규모 호텔·모텔·오피스텔이라 사업의 유불리가 용도나 동선보다 입면·평면·마감재의 차별화에 걸려 있었다.
Approach
필요 주차대수를 전부 지하에 기계식으로 계획했다. 격자로 짜인 고벽돌 틀에 유리와 징크판넬을 삽입하는 복합적 형태로 구성하고, 두 개 층씩 묶어 건물 규모와 패턴의 비례를 맞췄다.
Overview
An officetel built on a site of high land-use efficiency in a commercial area designated block-by-block behind an arterial road.
Despite the high land price and floating population, the narrow road made vehicle circulation important; yet as the site area made self-parking impossible, all required parking was planned mechanically underground. As most surrounding buildings are small hotels, motels, and officetels, the project's competitiveness lay in differentiating the elevation, plan, and finishes rather than use or circulation. It is a composite form with glass and zinc panels inserted into a grid frame of aged brick. Grouping two floors at a time matches the building scale and pattern proportion, and simplifying the material of the voided space on the top two floors gives variation to the monotony.
Among buildings of the same scale and use within the block, it is a project requiring a design that differentiates formally while harmonizing with the whole.
