Across a 30m road to the west, the site faces the main axis of Dunsan New Town connecting Government Complex No. 3 and the City Hall in the north-south direction, and adjoins the 40m Dunsan-daero to the south. The nearby sites, roughly 80m-wide, penetrating east-west, are divided into 2 or 4 lots per block, with masses paired in twos across each block — until reaching this project’s site, which occupies one full block and disrupts that rhythm. The design maintains contextual continuity while formalizing the pride and image of the regional Chungchong Bank’s headquarters, aiming to elevate its landmark presence.
The Capital Tower mass consists of three parts, each five-story tall, forming a stepped façade that diminishes in size toward the upper levels. Verticality is emphasized from top to bottom, making the tower appear taller than its actual height, due to uniformly dense arrays of tall vertical windows and partitions. On the west façade, the gently-curving glass wall reflecting light and the blue-toned planar glass add variations to the building’s granite-finished façade structure while creating cozy harmony; the granite’s solidity paired with the glass’s clarity evokes a summer sky. The penthouse level is notably taller than those of surrounding buildings, and its steel-framed pergola adds dramatic ornamentation to the overall form.
