Cascadia is located in the mountains of Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do, offering complete isolation from the city while preserving nature as it is. Surrounded by layers of mountains and rock formations, Cascadia brings to life all the wonders of nature as if created by the gods—an unknown world, entirely removed from the mortal world. This vision creates the framework of our core concept: the "realm of the gods." Accordingly, every building is thoughtfully designed to harmonize with the site's natural topography, seamlessly following the contours of the mountainous terrain and integrating with newly introduced waterfalls.

Bordered by the Sori-san mountain range in South Korea, the U RETREAT sits at the core of the Sari-gol valley in Hongcheon-gun Daegok-ri. Looking down on the site from as little a distance of 40 meters, a sharp vertical cliff stretches at an altitude of 100 meters. The scale of this geological formation, pinned down by enormous stones, and the vitality of the flourishing vegetation within it totally overwhelm the surroundings.
