Text description provided by the architects. In the block behind the glamorous Cheongdam luxury fashion street in Gangnam, Seoul, there are still four to five-storey old residential buildings built in the early 90s along with trendy restaurants, cafes, and entertainment agencies that fill the alleys. Cheongdam area is read as fragmentary eye-catching images rather than as the continuity of the physical spaces. ‘urban ark architects (urban ark)’ were commissioned a project to combine two plots, each with old low-storey housing and a beauty parlor.
