House of Elementary Education / LP architektur

Due to the reorganization and merging of the Flachau and Reitdorf kindergartens into one location, the existing elementary school was relocated and the stock was adapted and restructured for the new use, and expanded with a two-story wooden building.

One of the primary functions of architecture is to provide shelter, fulfilling the physiological and safety needs at the base of Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of human motivation. Throughout history, the need for shelter has been evident in our ancestors’ behavior, who sought refuge in caves to protect themselves from weather conditions and predators. As societies shifted from a nomadic to a sedentary lifestyle and basic needs were easily met, shelters became more advanced, evolving into purpose-built spaces. These early shelters withstood the elements of their time and laid the foundation for modern architecture as we know it today.

The House was designed in an elevated barren plot with superb undisturbed views from the site. Three things were decided in the initial visit itself; utilize the stupendous views, built a properly shaded house from the heat of the sun, and cover the house with layers of vegetation that will in turn bring down the temperature inside the house.

Located in Seogyo-dong, the OY shop sports geometric lines and shapes. It’s a fashion brand that reinterprets and expresses itself in a modern way. OY SEOUL has a 2-floor showroom.
