The former Securities Supervisory Service site, adjacent to the then-Yeouido Square (now Yeouido Park), occupies the edge of Yeouido, Korea’s securities and financial hub. The building embodies a strong symbolic presence without ostentation, seeking to convey the progressive, forward-looking image of a public financial supervisory institution rooted in publicness and credibility, while enhancing convenience and comfort through its surroundings. It represents an effort to establish a distinct identity amid the cluster of securities town buildings.
The exterior form draws from the traditional Korean lattice patterns, window rhythms varying in repetition and scale to express the familiarity and meticulous craftsmanship of Korean aesthetics, thereby reflecting the honest, unadorned image of a public corporation. To maximize the organic integration and efficiency of facilities essential for operations, along with creating comfortable indoor-outdoor environments, the building incorporates comprehensive intelligent systems for various equipment and information communications.
