Tongyeong Commercial (Proposal)

A city facing Geoje Island by the South Sea, where the youth of the composer Yun I-sang lingers.

This building was planned in a commercial district of Tongyeong, then in the midst of new-town development. The client toured the Cheongdam-dong area with us and asked for that kind of fresh design.

With a roughly 200-meter elevation at seven stories, the somewhat awkward proportions of the front were addressed by separating the stair as its own linear element and carving a vertical groove between.

The pattern of the exterior glass curtain wall was composed by combining transparent insulated glazing with glass bearing an opaque sheet.
