Set along the ridge of a Maremma hillside, between two valleys and in visual dialogue with the distant fortress of Magliano in Tuscany, Borgo Banditaccia is restored as a unified organism.

The project takes as its generative core the only authentic remnants of the original complex—the vaulted cart tracks and the compact northern volume&m... More

From within the house, the cantilevered concrete surfaces measure the bridge in a dance of thresholds with it and the East River.  Oleg March Oleg March Oleg March Oleg March Waterfront architecture always finds itself placed on a site that is larger than the boundaries convey, captured in immediate connections with nature, and aspiring to find its place in it.

The site is located at the southern end of Gwangjin Bridge, on a trapezoidal plot that had long been left undeveloped. The road in front, known as "Cheonho-dong Tool Street," is somewhat bustling, but once the building is completed, it will offer a picturesque view of the Han River framed by Achasan Mountain. The front and rear roads, with a 3.6-meter elevation difference, allow for easy underground parking without additional excavation. The client decided to build an office on this site, aiming to minimize construction costs and time by utilizing the existing terrain for a quick move-in. Due to the nature of neighborhood commercial facilities, the floor plan was significantly influenced by regulations and economic factors, requiring carefu... More
