The site for "White Cube, Mangwoo" is located in the east side of Seoul in South Korea, overlooking the beautiful Mangwoo Mountain. The area has been designated as a redevelopment area for a long time, but recently development was cancelled upon demand by residents.

After the redevelopment of Mangwoo district was cancelled, the non-architecture based contractor started their business. Unfortunately, there were not many concerns about aesthetic and living quality within the projects. ArchiWorkshop.kr was the first architecture firm to build multi-family housing in this area.

White Cube has 4 stories with a total net area of 2,152 square feet. The building's area consists of 1,290 square feet of the site. The geometry of the building is a white cubic shape. The color of the ground floor and top floor is dark gray in order to accentuate the white geometry of the white cube.

The neighboring buildings border the site very closely and windows could not be opened properly during days and nights. In order to solve these problems, a white wall was erected. The sun light from the top could then reflect into the interior space, which then brightened the inner space. We called this space the "sunlight-balcony." All four seasons can thus be experienced from inside the house.
