Mugok / 100A associates

Miwa Negoro — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 03:00:00 +0000

Mugok is not a place that invites escape from everyday life through temporary retreat. Rather, it is an architecture that guides one to recover a renewed attitude within the everyday. Here, architecture does not dominate the subject—the user, the human—but instead settles quietly as a background for being. Space is constructed through a language of restraint rather than display, and it is precisely this restraint that gives rise to a profound inner resonance. Within this quietude, the user regains their center and re-establishes a relationship with the world.

In Bongseong-ri, Jeju, where Hallasan Mountain and the oreums harmonize, Watar rests on the land as an accommodation space capturing the beauty of Tamna (the old name for Jeju) through a refined sensibility. We sought to embody Jeju's classical landscapes and the reflections born from them in a contemplative atmosphere unique to this place—an ambiance that flows into its own sensibility and emotion. The narrative beauty of the land deepens the architecture with a quiet gradient of shadows, leaving an impression imbued with a calm and time-worn grace.

The sharing of enhancement through art and its delicate appreciation delicately touch the texture of emotion, deepen the emotional connection, and expand the inner side of the relationship richer and deeper through the process of sharing inspiration. Art becomes a bridge that narrows the distance from others, the shared impression slits as 'our own special experiment', and they become the nourishment of life that constantly reawakens the meaning and value in the passage of time.

Ooort House / 100A associates

Valeria Silva — Sat, 12 Apr 2025 21:00:00 +0000

A steep hill embracing the ridgeline of Cheonggyesan as a landscape, the site, shaped and accumulated over a long period, was a place to encounter many different moments in time, clear and undeniably real. The first impression of the site was the vivid, primal language of nature it had preserved, as if proving the times that coexisted in the place. The atmosphere of this primal space manifests in different forms with each moment, awakening passive senses in us, adapting to the rapidly flowing time of the city, and offering enough room for imagination to emerge.

ee.jae House / 100A associates

Valeria Silva — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 20:00:00 +0000

After completing all the work, I write this short piece to reflect once more on what I aimed to communicate to my client as an architect. Perhaps, through this project, I desired to blend his space once again, just as his sensibilities had permeated into my inner self.

One’s Clinic / 100A associates

Hana Abdel — Sun, 17 Mar 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Understanding what transcends external treatments and penetrates the essence of healing is crucial in the art of medicine. Healing implies not just a return to a previous state of wholeness but also growth towards an improved state, embracing physical, inner, and spiritual balance. This signifies that the true purpose of medicine is to understand the individual behind the symptoms. One’s Clinic, aiming to approach the essence of healing through communication with patients, is a family clinic that adopts the philosophy of a primary care physician who manages a lifestyle beyond illness, enabling self-healing. Starting with the primary care physician’s desire to treat everyone who visits with great care, they aimed to capture the identity of One’s Clinic within the space, connecting it to their thoughts on the true purpose of treatment through the purity of healing.

A Home for Three Generations / 100A associates

Hana Abdel — Sun, 25 Feb 2024 09:00:00 +0000

In a secluded. Detached residential area located near a golf course past the crowded hecticness of urban greater Seoul, our clients decided to build a home to experience the healing and leisure of nature one cannot experience in metropolitan life. They needed a residential space in which three generations could come together and nurture one another’s well-being while leading an independent life. Through spatial programming, we aimed to reflect their values while architecturally forming a direct connection with the terrain and implementing a calm architectural form possessing gravitas that is visually disconnected from neighboring residential spaces, like a “refined fragment carved on nature’s horizon.” This was a result of reflecting our sincerity as we held in consideration that this space was the grounds for fostering order through the relationship between the terrain, architecture, and the family as well as a “site” three generations will come to domiciliate.

QUAR.K Cafe / 100A associates

Hana Abdel — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 18:00:00 +0000

The inception of Korean coffee accompanied our painful history and is a form of Western culture that took its place during a time when, due to the sweeping currents of modernization, our distinct cultural and aesthetic values were becoming lost. Despite this, we did not dismiss coffee, so deeply rooted in our establishment for the extended period of 140 years, as merely a Western cultural aspect, and decided it was the right time to contemplate the aesthetics of coffee in a location containing our spatial aesthetics.

A place of light and darkness, shaded tranquility: “Gyeongjuok”

Chwihoga House / 100A associates

Bianca Valentina Roșescu — Sun, 09 Oct 2022 19:00:00 +0000

The Temple of Tiger for Recovery, Chwihoga - I have read an article, ‘There is only one place among the infinite points on the earth. Therefore, places have the power to make architecture special’. Most of my own work styles are started with the previously cited article, ‘Places have the power to make architecture special.’ My heart for the land (a specific place) before the construction of Chwihoga was a distant silence, it was the tranquility of silence and no-causality of being stored something that will unexpectedly overthrow my mind and body. My deep impression of the site might be a human response to the ‘vitality of place’ carved deep into the ground, regardless of how much it’s washed.

The House of Novelist / 100A associates

Bianca Valentina Roșescu — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 22:00:00 +0000

From when did you hesitate to tell about your dream? If the works we're doing allow them to approach their dream, we really want you to tell us about the story of the dream, like a dreaming child. Although there are so many factors for us to decide on a project and we can’t ignore realities, we would like to share our attitude toward the size and space of their dream and prioritize how much pleasure we can feel in the project.

Villa Lento / 100A associates

Hana Abdel — Sat, 15 Jan 2022 23:00:00 +0000

In the suburbs of Seoul, we finally meet the end of a deep and calm village by climbing a long mountain path, which filters complicated and distracting things in our minds. It’s the place where we forget the tempo of busy and tiring city life. We built ‘Villa Lento’ here, the lyrical place where people who really glorify art and nature are able to recover a slow and peaceful stream of time.

La Mer Panji Bakery & Cafe / 100A associates

Hana Abdel — Tue, 09 Nov 2021 18:00:00 +0000

On the coastline of Ulsan, PanJi Village exists. Its name derived from the look of the plate joint, which looked like Panji (cardboard) that was made through volcanic activities. Panji Village has a plank rock where the myth of the sea goddess started. According to the myth- she exhaled a deep breath into the water, then a deep, round hole was created- and there she floated water shoes on it. We built the identity of the brand and space by reflecting the place of this special village along with its mysterious myth.

Uirim Inn / 100A associates

Hana Abdel — Thu, 29 Apr 2021 18:00:00 +0000

There an exceptionally bright chestnut tree was situated as if it were the owner of the land. The traveler in the forest humbly accepted it, and the chestnut offered him the comfort of silence. That’s how Uirim Inn was settled under such a beautiful and peaceful chestnut tree. The traveler in the forest wanted to provide a space that could be comforting to other travellers, hoping that the building to be placed on this land would become a space with delicate smell which is not distinguishable between a mountain and a house.

Milmila Yoga Center / 100A associates

Valeria Silva — Thu, 22 Oct 2020 20:00:00 +0000

At the end of the hill past through the noisy downtown of Itaewon, on a site with an exceptionally calm atmosphere in between the close-set residential districts, there the 'Hill of deep stillness, 密謐阿_Milmila' is. Located on a high hill facing Namsan and overlooking the city, this is a space prepared for the training of yoga leaders by YOGAKULA Master Sei Kim who has been hosting the Korea Yoga Conference which is the best yoga event in Korea and the Global Yoga Mala Project. Yoga Kula, a community of mind, which means being together, is a community that seeks to receive inspiration and energy through training and study based on the Priya Yoga philosophy. Here, Priya means to welcome and accept the divine energy of a person's Atman that is a person's nature, ego, and soul.

Hyangsimjae Clinic / 100A associates

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 14 May 2020 03:00:00 +0000

HYANGSIMJAE Clinic, located in Daegu, Republic of Korea, is a 130-square-meter space and unique clinic that offers advanced medical services different from conventional hospitals by combining Family medicine and Dermatology. We built the concepts of its space design sequentially by communicating and sharing ideas, goals or the future that our client’s desire to purse in this place.

Essay House / 100A associates

Andreas Luco — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 21:00:00 +0000

The best moments of our childhood remain with us. The architecture couple said they wanted to bequeath that moment to children. ESSAY HOUSE, which records all the moments of the family, was constructed with our wish that the children's amusements would be satisfied anytime, anywhere, altogether.

Casa Cabana / 100A associates

Daniel Tapia — Thu, 30 May 2019 23:00:00 +0000

A question 'What kind of house will we live in?' is concluded by an answer 'How should we live?'. Cabin House is a house which contains the lifestyle as it is that clients want to have. Concentrating on the clients' taste and requirements, 100A associates designed this house as their own perfect house. Located in the outskirts of Seoul, Casa Cabana is a home for a couple with two children. They who like to travel, have accumulated ideas about the house they want to have, while experiencing numerous hotels overseas. The space they want to have has different type from the common private houses that people can usually recall. It should give them a feeling to travel as a space like a resort in downtown.
