Situated in the heart of a historic district adjacent to the Chosun Palace, this building has been meticulously designed to respond sensitively to its surroundings. The narrow, interconnected streets and traditional buildings with varying textures in the area inspired our team to create a pedestrian-friendly design that prioritizes intimacy. The design process involved a detailed analysis of the street's quantity and quality, leading to the building's placement at the rear of the site to create an open space that coexists with the historic building. The resulting rhythm between the narrow alleyway and the open public space is enhanced by a curved brick wall and roof design, which forms an enclosed area that connects to the street on the west side.
