Land conditions. At the entrance of the tiny one-way street located just around the corner from Airport Road is the modest pentagonal lot. The five-sided piece of land has an unavoidable prerequisite, given the land’s corner location on narrow streets. The old building was built adjacent to the buildings surrounding it, and its appearance alone showed that it had been keeping watch over the neighborhood for a very long while. Walking around the site with the client on the first day and seeing the large windows of the apartment buildings surrounding the three sides of the site, we felt as if all the eyes were looking down on the land. One advantage of corner buildings is that many architectural elements can be displayed on the outside, with the downside of whatever going on inside the building being observable from the outside.

The alleys of Sangam-dong are always busy. In the morning, they are packed with people hurrying to work or school; in the afternoon, with people visiting its hip restaurants and cafes; and at night, with people grabbing a drink after work. The little building by the name of Red Hole stands somewhere in the hustle and bustle of these alleys.
