We took a philosophical approach in terms of designing building rather than the curved form itself.

25 best architecture firms in South Korea
La arquitectura de Corea del Sur se distingue por su tendencia al naturalismo, la sencillez y las formas aerodinámicas.

Detail: Seosaeng House marries contemporary architecture with traditional Korean vernacular
Situada en lo alto de una colina de la región de Ulju-gun, en la península oriental de Corea del Sur, la Casa Seosaeng es una vivienda familiar multigeneracional cuya arquitectura contemporánea combina elementos de la arquitectura tradicional coreana. Diseñada por el londinense Studio Weave, Seosaeng House goza de vistas panorámicas al Mar del Este.

Yoon, Joonhwan
For the two buildings with basements, sunken spaces were designed to create environmentally comfortable underground spaces that utilize light from above the ground and winds from the west. For all three buildings, c... Más
