Round Roofs Residence
Round Sky and Angular Ground
The phrase, “The sky is round and the ground is angular.” is an old-saying found in the Chinese astronomic book, Zhou bi suan jing. Ancient Fareast Asians acknowledged the boundary between the sky and buildings as curves. For that reason, traditional Korean buildings have distinctively curved roof lines. We took a philosophical approach in terms of designing building rather than the curved form itself.

YeongJong Do Onnuri Church
The Yeongjongdo Onnuri Church stands as a unique religious center on a developing island near Seoul, South Korea. Its design integrates the symbolic form of Noah's Ark with the practical concept of upcycling dismantled ship hulls. The building's bow, pointed skyward, serves as a powerful visual reminder of the ark.

This project promotes the concepts of scale, ready-made elements, and sustainable reuse. Fragmented sections of the recycled ship's hull become integral parts of the church's architecture. Steel, a readily available and highly durable material, finds renewed purpose in its elegant, curved forms.

Projeto • By WORC • Restaurantes
CHINGU
It’s a restaurant that opens its doors in the Condesa neighborhood, designed by the Mexican firm WORC, whose concept arises from recreating the authentic flavors of Seoul’s street food in Mexico City. It is a space that serves as a stage for friends to share, immersing visitors in Korean culture through design and gastronomy.

25 best architecture firms in South Korea
A arquitetura da Coreia do Sul distingue-se pela sua tendência para o naturalismo, a simplicidade e as formas aerodinâmicas. Historicamente, a paisagem arquitetónica da Coreia do Sul evoluiu sob a influência dos seus países vizinhos, em particular do Japão e da China, mas também com a marca da sua identidade cultural única. A tumultuosa história da nação, marcada por ciclos de construção e destruição, deixou uma marca duradoura na sua arquitetura, resultando numa justaposição de diversos estilos e formas.
Enquanto a arquitetura tradicional coreana se distinguia pela sua profunda ligação à natureza,... Mais

Detail: Seosaeng House marries contemporary architecture with traditional Korean vernacular
Situada no topo de uma colina na região de Ulju-gun, na península oriental da Coreia do Sul, a Seosaeng House é uma casa de família multigeracional cuja arquitetura contemporânea combina elementos do vernáculo tradicional coreano. Projectada pelo Studio Weave, com sede em Londres, a Seosaeng House goza de vistas panorâmicas sobre o Mar do Leste. A fachada de betão cor-de-rosa da casa brilha com os primeiros raios do sol nascente: Seosaeng, traduzido à letra, significa "o Oriente que brilha" ou "nova vida".

Roly-Polycotto: Whimsy in red brick
Architecture and interior design firm Studiovase have recently completed Roly-Polycotto, a whimsical restaurant, café, and retail space in Seoul, Korea. The project was commissioned by Ottogi, a popular Korean food manufacturer who sell noodles, sauces, curries, and other foodstuffs. The original brief called for a curry and ramen bar showcasing the brand’s flavours to be installed within a space of around 80 pyeong (a Korean unit of floorspace which translates to 265 sq. m). But Studiovase proposed a much larger concept for the project both spatially and conceptually– a total rebranding and repackaging of the Ottogi brand.
