Design began with the site’s condition as a boundary - where urban sprawl ends and the transition to nature begins. We envisioned a building like a solid period, marking the edge of the city and anchoring the open view to the south.

We intentionally rejected the chamfered corner of the site, as it would weaken the solidity and strong presence of the building. Instead, we twisted the form, misaligning the corners of the lower glass box and the upper brick volume. This twist creates a sense of ambiguity and tension, enriching the pedestrian experience as the overhang gradually extends and the glass box converges into the main mass.

The joint between the two volumes is accentuated by metal sheets and plates. Though the joint condition changes continuously as the two volumes twist relative to each other, the key recessed articulation detail is consistently maintained around the building, expressing how the form was conceived.

The client requested a simple brick building with deep openings. Our initial idea was to create an opening with a half-folded wall on one side, evoking depth and casting shifting shadows as the sun moves. We also combined two opening types - one large and one small - to generate a pattern rooted in a simple concept but not immediately legible, leaving a strong visual impression. Together, the half-folded walls create a sculptural quality.
