Jungnimchanggo Facility / everyarchitects

August 31, 2021 Hana Abdel 0

The building is located on a hill in the old town boundary. The site was 55 meters long, while its width ranged from 1.5 meters to 6 meters. The difference in its elevation was 8 meters. The long and thin site faces the commercial building of Saint Joseph Apartment (one of the oldest apartments in Seoul) on the other side of the 4-meter-wide road.

Hence, the new building has been designed focusing on the continuity of the road as a flow rather than on the building as a mass.
