PONT, a roastery company that successfully settled in the center of Seoul in a short period of time, opened its second showroom in Mullae-dong, one of the oldest factory areas in Seoul. Due to changes in the Korean industry, buildings in the area, which were filled with factories, are being emptied one by one, and instead young artists have begun to take over. The space, which connects five abandoned ironworks, contains programs such as cafes, showrooms, rosters, and coffee-related seminars.

An outdoor garden in a high-rise concrete block. Why not? We, the children of nature, always fall in love with the beauty of the landscape.

Inside an unoccupied industrial building close to Charleroi train station, new working spaces for high-tech companies and laid out according to a city grid. Autonomous workspaces frame a central public space dedicated to the communal activities of this industrial ecosystem. In the context of a post-industrial city faced with an employment deficit, the conversion of the spaces of this golden age is as slow as that of historic know-how. The Advanced Engineering Centre acts as a laboratory to experiment with the new forms of work of the 21st century, faced with the transformation of the labor market.

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.

Zenyaku Kogyo R&D Center “a lab connecting the city, the environment & people”. This project was for the relocation and construction of the new research & development center for Japanese pharmaceutical company Zenyaku Kogyo Co., Ltd., which celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2020. In recent years, the research environment has become an increasingly diverse landscape, showing growth in collaborations with outside companies such as open labs, cooperative efforts with venture companies, and the outsourcing of research work. More than ever, higher performance and quality environments are required of labs, making it extremely important for research institutes to make connections beyond previous boundaries and with other researchers.
