Design Competition Entry for the New Headquarters of Korea National Oil Corporation

As the Korea National Oil Corporation (KNOC) relocates to a regional innovation city, it was necessary to consider the concept of integration—bringing diverse programs together as a cohesive whole—as well as the flow and connectivity required to harmonize with the surrounding urban and natural environments, and the symbolic expression of how to interpret KNOC’s identity. In the process of weaving these three elements into a single outcome, we planned a space where various interior spaces—such as the lobby and atrium on the lower floors—are three-dimensionally connected with the external environment.
