Miwa Negoro — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 20:00:00 +0000

The expansion of Seolhaeone Clubhouse was initiated to address the need for additional lockers due to golf course expansion, restaurant enhancement, and new cart storage facilities. While it appeared to be a clubhouse remodeling on the surface, it was essentially like re-establishing a master plan that needed to resolve customer flow, management circulation, and parking issues that were problematic in the existing clubhouse, while also reflecting the possibility for expansion according to long-term development plans.

Site context and design prototype. EL 16.52 is a coffee shop located off the coast of Songdo, Busan, South Korea. EL stands for altitude above sea level, and 16.52 signifies the altitude level of the underground floor where the main building was built. The meaning lies in the context of the National Geopark to which this site belongs is architecturally implied, and the temporal nature of this stratum is intended to be contained in the meaning of altitude above sea level. The construction here was to interpret the difference in level between geopark, sea, and land in the sense of architectural archetype and ultimately maximize it commercially.

Located in between Gwanaksan Mountain and Cheonggyecheon Mountain, the site offers a panoramic view of its surrounding mountains. The project aims to achieve an architectural outcome where the balance between nature perseverance and spatial experience coexist. Additionally, a continuous interplay between light and shadow along with various scenery interchanges are expected to tag along in the process.

Martita Vial della Maggiora — Thu, 27 Sep 2018 23:00:00 +0000

The Pergola of The Golf Club at NINE BRIDGES is a structure built on a location that honors an old sacred tree. The Chinese hackberry, which stood for roughly 600 years before the present golf course was constructed, unconsciously instated a place of animism. The pergola rearranges the site in accordance with the orientation of an aged tree and finds its project motifs in natural algorithms.

This project is designed for the complex facilities combined with a restaurant and the residential facilities which are located at the entrance of a famous Korea representative mountain – Mt. Keryong. This site is located at the heart of Mt. Keryong unfolding to 4 sides and also to be unfolded to 360 degrees of Korea’s beautiful mountain views. Such features of the site could render the beautiful sceneries of a Korea’s beautiful mountain, which has been the main design issues how to put these and rebuild them into a commercial space. In other words, as a design not deviated from the surrounding sceneries but integrated into nature, we intended to compose the architecture as a new symbol of the national park.

Davich Optical Chain is one of Korea’s representative eyeglass chains, having hundreds of stores throughout the nation and supplying consumers with eyeglasses at all prices. The client for this project asked us to symbolize their own brand with more unique and architectural identity, in addition to being as a special retail store for eyeglasses. In other words, they wanted that a more luxurious feel and upgraded image (selling culture products) are to be added to this chain, not just an ordinary optician’s for selling products.

“The great view and the light” These two concepts should be compatible for a good house. However, Pangyo, the collective housing area, is composed only of functional logic to accommodate as many houses as it can.

Namhae Cheo-ma House / JOHO Architecture

Javier Gaete — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Rural houses, or farmhouses are easily seen around countryside. However, these artificial forms are being placed here and there thoughtlessly in Mother Nature. A common stereotyped rural houses around Namhae, Jindo, and Pyeongchang have set a scenery of 20th century’s Korean farm village. One might say, the system of a local constructor also being a designer also being a constructor is extremely economical in terms of building rural houses. However, mother nature we have is too nice to only covered with identically produced rural houses. The fantasy of poor copied western wooden houses and red brick houses become formed a typical figure of Korean rural communities. Without any concern about an infinite landscape or a spirit of bamboo forest, red brick houses have become a romance dream for farmers, and an ultimate architectural goal for architects.

The Curving House / JOHO Architecture

There is no home for parking
I remember that it was a winter day after snowing when I first visited the site. It was a rare residential lot with an open view to the south at the dead end of a small path beneath Mt. Gwanggyo. What was unique about this lot was that it was very hard to turn the car to come out of the path after more than 2 cars parked, because it was a small path only 4 m in width. Ironically, the fundamental challenge was not only solving the parking problem but also creating a space for both parking and gardening to coexist. It was closely related to the lifestyle of home owner to decide whether to create a garden directly accessible from the living room or to emphasize a visual garden. To resolve this issue, the overall shape was formed to encase the lot with more curves and lifted about 2 m from the ground using pilotis for more efficient parking. The shape of the mass resembling a concave lens was created by the parking needs and the topographical condition of the lot.
