Silver Boat
Seoul, South Korea
Silver Boat is a commercial building located on the corner of the crossroads at Hongik University, near the Yangwha highway. The goal of the design was to realize a landmark building of cultural value, while engaging with the commerciality of the city.
The building contains a restaurant on the second floor and a pilotis parking lot on the first floor. Commercial facilities located from the basement to the third floor required a highly efficient design. A pedestrian traffic line, leading to the sunken first floor garden through to the shopping mall and courtyard, was designed to increase the foot-traffic within these areas, increasing purchasing efficiency.
The first floor pilotis is located on the street corner and operates as an eye-level landscape. It includes a square architectural space, which has been used as a primary element for the expression of various visual and spatial changes. Its close proximity to the street allows it to be used as a visual device to attract pedestrians from the road into the building.
Curved stairs from the first floor to the third floor, translucent elevator, bridge, sunken garden, and shopping mall all create intermediate interior and exterior spaces, connecting the city to the architecture, and the architecture to people. The exposed motion of the lift moving up and down and the movement of people on the outdoor stairs create visual drama and a festive atmosphere. In order to honor the site’s heritage and the Mape ferry that may have once been there, the building’s curved three-sided wing symbolizes a moving sail.
