A cold frame is a small hotbed that preserves warmth in the cold. We can feel warmth and comfort even in the cold. It's like Christmas in August. We wanted to convey a more stark sense through the contrast between brutalism and architectural style as the language of space.

The Galleria is Korea’s first and largest upscale department store franchise founded in the 1970s, and has remained at the forefront of the premium retail market in the country since then. The store in Gwanggyo—a new town just south of Seoul—is the sixth branch of Galleria. Located at the center of this young urban development surrounded by tall residential towers, the Galleria’s stone-like appearance makes it a natural point of gravity for public life in Gwanggyo.

Upon sudden adulthood, our daily lives might be the story of a traveler in the city that is on a journey to finding the lost innocence.

'Cornerstone' is the small mixed-use building with 5 separate housing units and a cafeteria on ground-floor.

I wanted the project reflect this site condition to stand as an ambiguous alien between residential and commercial block, as a heterogeneous thing from neighboring repetitious buildings.
