Old House Renovation into Paint Company HQ / pH7 Architects

Miwa Negoro — Sun, 05 Oct 2025 17:00:00 +0000

A Paint Company Office Inside a Former 'Robot House' – Located in Yongin City, South Korea, this project transforms a deteriorated residential building designed in the postmodern architectural language of the late 1980s into a new office for Dukwoo PCI, a small-scale paint company. The original structure was defined by its playful geometric forms and circular windows that evoked the silhouette of a robot from Japanese animation. Despite its iconic appearance, the building's aging materials and outdated structure made it unsuitable for contemporary office use.

The clients are four people with a keen eye for wood. They wanted to enjoy the pleasure of crafting and being together in this quiet neighborhood. A small room to play with wood was the most required element. The site must be addressed first before describing their way of creating a room. The site is located on a spot looking up at a long bridge between golf courses.

VEGESCAPE Cafe / SUBTEXT

Hana Abdel — Fri, 10 May 2024 06:00:00 +0000

In the past, global perceptions of Chinese cuisine were marred by suspicions of unsafe ingredients and unsanitary environments. During such times, even in Shanghai, where the top 1% of the affluent resided, a retail and dining space known as "Green & Safe" emerged. Now, more than a decade later, what seemed novel or extraordinary may be taken for granted, but I remember the first "Green & Safe" store in Shanghai as a place frequented by the Chinese and people worldwide for benchmarking.

Dong Baek Wooden House / mlnp architects

Hana Abdel — Sun, 14 Jan 2024 17:00:00 +0000

Dongbaek Wooden House is located in a residential area developed under the concept of a townhouse in the early days of Korea called Hyangrin Hill in Yongin-si. The land is a condition with a somewhat stepped view and scent open to the south. Since it is a natural green area, despite the area of large land, the floor area of the house that can meet the needs of the owner is not sufficient. The Dongbaek Wooden House tried to fully utilize the structural and material properties of the heavy timber structure.

502 Coffee Roasters / stof.

Hana Abdel — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 06:00:00 +0000

The space flourishes and becomes clear and rich when various elements within it establish relationships and are visualized. While subjective, finding the expected comfort in places commonly referred to as large cafes can be challenging when visited in person. This difficulty stems from the absence of relationships among elements in the space and the lack of purpose.

Suji Dream School / ODDs&ENDs architects

Hana Abdel — Tue, 02 Jan 2024 02:00:00 +0000

Suji Dream School is an alternative school that seeks happiness and free being for all 70 primary and secondary students. The school parents chipped in and managed to arrange a site at the foot of Gwang-gyo Mountain. After studying architecture for a year, the school parents searched for an architect, and eventually, we got to start this project. The site was a natural green area, and therefore, the total floor area was limited to 500 square meters. This project took a lot of effort and time to gather the opinions of all the concerns. There were also other limits for the construction cost, which was insufficient.

Long Slow Distance Store / sommm+associates

Hana Abdel — Wed, 31 May 2023 01:00:00 +0000

The shop where the host loves to stay. Humans live, being affected by the environment around them. From the person next to us or the place they stay, we interact with influences around us. For our client who takes over 70% of their time at the shop every day, we can’t stress more the importance of the environment they are in. We considered that this space should be more comfortable and adorable than anywhere, for making them enjoy their stay, which will result in our clients welcoming customers pleasantly enough. We wanted to differentiate our space from the one distancing from freshness where there are not enough windows and lights, like a department store.

Tribu House by Parnell / ALIVEUS architecture

Hana Abdel — Sat, 06 May 2023 19:00:00 +0000

Tribu House by Parnell was created with various purposes. It was intended to be a domestic showroom for high-end European furniture as well as a space to be used as a bakery cafe. The client had a requirement that the furniture display not look like a typical furniture store and be naturally integrated into the building and its interior and exterior spaces. Additionally, the client wanted to implement an architectural style that had not been seen before in Korea, with a high degree of completion. One of the main criteria was the client's aesthetic preference for arched windows. To avoid the design looking like a mere imitation of traditional European architecture with classical arched windows, we made an effort to find a design language beyond this.

‘Timeless Value’ The place is located near Mt. Gwanggyo on the outskirts of Yongin City. Locational conditions and the system of 'No Takeaway' and 'No Plug No Wi-fi' may be inconvenient for customers.

It is a complex building consisting of sales, factories, offices, dormitories, and convenience facilities. It will be owned by a large number of people by dividing the space for each use and selling the shares. In this large-scale complex, spaces for various purposes are organically arranged. According to District-Unit Plan, this site is limited to 12 stories or less in height. For more suitable layout within the legal limitations, each space is organized in such a way that it overlaps each other. At the point where spaces for different uses meet, common space is arranged. Spaces for various purposes were arranged horizontally and vertically based on sunlight, views, and visual communication possibilities.

Precious Talk House / JNDA

Andreas Luco — Sat, 27 Feb 2021 21:00:00 +0000

Until a single house is built, there is a lot of dialogue and communication between the architect and the client. During this project, there were countless precious stories filled with respect for each other, so all the processes and results remained happy memories. This is why the name of this project is ‘Precious talk’.

Valeria Silva — Wed, 04 Nov 2020 18:00:00 +0000

Yongin Jukjeon House is located on a housing estate in Jukjeon-dong, Suji-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do. It is located at the entrance to the residential district. The plot, apart from the access route to the south, runs adjacent to roads and pedestrian pathways, and there is a gentle incline from the entrance towards the inner part of the complex. Compared to the other plots the strip of land is relatively narrow, and use of the lower floor is limited as it runs alongside pedestrian thoroughfares and a real estate office.

When planning the 'THE CLT' detached house, they agreed to stick to the basics with the architecturalist's family composition and lifestyle.

Three Yard House / D.LIM architects

Daniel Tapia — Wed, 09 Jan 2019 20:00:00 +0000

3+3+3
This house is a three-story house with three gardens, designed as a dwelling for three generations. The site runs along the range of a small, densely wooded hill. This small hill became the most crucial element when determining the layout of the house. The house was aligned with the shape of the site and placed parallel to the axis toward the hill, in order to draw the hill’s natural flow into the house. Moreover, the end of the sight line, which binds the long-lined spaces together, was always directed toward the hill.

Nam June Paik Art Center Renovation / N H D M Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Wed, 02 Jan 2019 20:00:00 +0000

The Nam June Paik Art Center renovation project reconfigures approximately 12,000 sf of the existing museum (about one-third of the publicly accessible area) and provides the public with new ways to interpret, linger, exchange, and inhabit the institution. Experimenting with the idea of “building in a building” and a “figure in a figure,” the project explores the typological approach to appropriate underutilized institutional spaces for more flexible and transformative public use.

Signature House / 100A associates

Daniel Tapia — Tue, 04 Sep 2018 23:00:00 +0000

A residential space is completed with the accumulation of time and experiences. It can have a meaning of ‘house’ when someone resides in it and can be settled down as a real home only when the time is accumulated. 100A associates concentrates thoroughly on ‘the subject’ who leads time and experiences in it when they design residential spaces. The subject’s lifestyle enjoying the space defines the spacial design.
