On a busy thoroughfare in the heart of Gangnam District, a hermetic-looking triangular prism contains eleven floors of office spaces and the headquarters of a cultural foundation.
The concrete used on the facade has an organic texture achieved through a formwork made of wooden panels, and poetically alludes to the etymology of the center’s name, which is Korean for ‘hidden pine tree.’
Whereas in the base the art space is organized around a central void that opens out to both the street and the rear garden, the upper levels are stepped against the hermetic circulation core to maximize sunlight.
