Flowers of Clouds

The flower tower appears as a giant sculpture with a 12 meter high Corten-Steel structure stylized like a lotus flower, lifting the coffee space of 600 square meter at an altitude of 8 meter. A continuous ramp allows visitors to enjoy the gradual view of the landscape like a flowing river before taking in the panoramic view on the rooftop. The entire roof area is a garden to grow large confetti and outdoor coffee space. It is a space where people can observe and feel stunning nature at different angles. Tourists, flower tower and nature are integrated here. All are engulfed in clouds.

The exterior is defined by two massive, offset concrete volumes with a board-formed finish. On the main level, a small courtyard and a large garden terrace on the south side serve as intermediary zones where the residents can enjoy the distinctive outdoor environment of a ranch-style home while maintaining privacy. The clients purchased the tiered, irregularly shaped lot as a place to spend meaningful time as a family.

House in Akashi

House in Akashi is a minimalist house designed to immerse one with nature. The house is divided into three zones, based on purpose and privacy, each with a garden and different concept. The first courtyard has a Japanese-style room for family, and a yard with kitchen garden. The second is a semi-public living dining space and a yard for viewing. Finally, bedrooms and the dry area provide for privacy and laundry. Through the courtyards, the plants, soil, wind and sky are always in view allowing nature into the house, blurring the lines between inside and outside.

Interpolation

Lacking amenities for a cultural experience, Seoul City called for a design competition of an art museum within the Seokchon Lake Park located south of Han River. The proposal is a winning scheme under development; construction is expected to be completed by early 2022. The design aims to provide a visual mark as an entry into the park. The newly introduced interpolating gallery passage connects the discontinuous outer and inner ring path, bisecting the site for a new "gateway" to the park. The new gallery will provide visitors and passersby the experience of art in their everyday lives.
