Other Projects by Perkins Eastman
Kumkang Penterium IT Tower
Seoul, South Korea
Perkins Eastman, in collaboration with the Korean
architectural firm Hanwon Forum Design Group, was commissioned by Kumkang
Housing Company to create a landmark mixed-use office complex in Anyang City.
Located in an industrial neighborhood 16 km (ten miles) south of Seoul’s city
center, the site is bordered by two major roadways. The 132,000 sm (1.4M sf) complex
comprises two 22-story glass office towers on top of a two-story retail podium
and parking block, their composition mimicking the mountainous
topography in the distance. Located at the western edge of the site, the
retail component is easily accessed by pedestrians and includes a sunken
landscaped courtyard, allowing light into the lower levels and views into the
ground-level retail.
The office towers’ exterior is composed of two very different facades: the
front elevation and central plaza comprise a series of folded glass curtain
wall planes with vertical light boxes along the edges, while the rear facades
are constructed of a more minimalist glass-paneled vertical window wall system.
A special edge lighting detail on the front elevation adds to the complex’s
high-tech presence in the neighborhood, communicating the energy of the work
within.
