Junggok-dong 'DORODOL'
Gwangjin District, Seoul, South Korea
**[Junggok-dong Dorodol Commercial-Residential Building]**
The landscape of a neighborhood is shaped by the streetscape. The ‘DORODOL’ commercial-residential building is designed as a home and commercial space for the owner and their parents. The owner wanted it to be a special building and home that would inject vitality into the street, unlike the monotonous multi-family or multi-unit buildings in the area.
The name ‘DORODOL’ combines the mother’s baptismal name and the father’s name, symbolizing the hope that the parents’ health and good energy would first touch the home.
Located in the scenic district of Junggok-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, the site offers views of Achasan Mountain to the northeast. It is situated along a major road surrounded by multi-family homes, commercial-residential buildings, and houses built in the 1970s and 1980s. As the building is the first one encountered along the main road, the design focused on the impression it would make from the outside and its interaction with the street, starting with the external design.
Although it occupies the maximum building area, complying with the building coverage ratio and floor area ratio, the facade was designed with proportional windows and openings, and a monolithic wide brick masonry to create a sense of volume and shading. The difference in the stacking method was applied to add elements to the facade.
The program of the DORODOL commercial-residential building includes a café on the first floor operated by the owner's children, commercial spaces on the second floor leased as office spaces, and residential units on the third to fifth floors, totaling seven units, including the owner's unit.
The interior was designed to showcase the diversity and character of a ‘multi-family’ style home. The exterior brick material is used as an interior design element in the café, while natural wood is featured in the main doors and as an interior accent, adding a warm touch. The communal space is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring a wheelchair-friendly elevator and barrier-free spaces with no level changes for the convenience of the owner's mother. The communal area connects to the rooftop, providing a space that feels like a neighborhood alley and offering a view of Achasan Mountain. Each residential unit has at least one private outdoor terrace, providing ample space for relaxation, storage, and fulfilling the functional needs of a home.
Through this small building, it is hoped to contribute a more positive impression to the neighborhood's landscape, reflecting daily life in the area.
