Text description provided by the architects. Located at the intersection of a lively commercial street and a modest residential alley in Seoul’s Gangnam district, the site presented a dual character—active and visible yet bound by zoning regulations that restrict the building height to four stories with less FAR than typical commercial areas. This posed a design challenge: how to create a commercial presence that stands out without exceeding the area’s formal constraints.
