This project is a middle-scale commercial building related closely to the locality, designed to construct an identity differentiated from the nearby large commercial complex and to create a pleasant shopping environment with merchandising differentiated from the master plan by floors. Considering the university campus and the dense apartment developments around the site, we expressed a sense of openness by designing a rooftop square in connection with the neat boxy mass and the food and beverage space on the top floor. We produced a vibrant image of vertical patterns on the front facade with scenic lighting embedded, so as to create a sense of both dignity and familiarity coexistent over time with brick and tile panels which casually give off their materiality.
