Tanning in the city

studio fragment as Architects

Seoul is a city where sunny days are rare. Therefore, it is difficult to tan the skin. We observed the act of tanning and designed a space suitable for it. We focused on the inner change rather than the outer change through the act of tanning.

                                                         

We tried to design a space with the theme of relaxation.

 

In reality, it is in the middle of the city center, but I thought of a quiet space away from the city, and I wanted to create a calm space experience.

 

The site was an empty square. We designed narrow corridors between space and space. And so that the entire space is not understood at once, this made a long journey. And it was planned so that each space could have a different way of rest.
