SK Siltron Welfare Center

SK Siltron Welfare Center

SK Siltron Welfare Center is a project that creatively repurposes the factory’s existing parking lot area into a new space dedicated to employee welfare. Located within the Gumi National Industrial Complex, the site is geographically flanked by the Nakdong River to the west and Bongduamsan Mountain to the east. However, the gridded urban structure, shaped by the goal-oriented nature of manufacturing and the characteristics of the industrial complex, creates an environment that offers little experience of nature. To foster a healthy working environment under these conditions, the welfare center was designed to be open both internally and externally. Although it is a single building, it houses a variety of programs for employees and connects the interior and exterior of the complex, aiming to improve work efficiency through enhanced welfare. The project reinterprets the given programs to create a horizontal space that encourages collaboration and communication, as a nature-friendly space that supports employees’ sufficient rest and recharging, thereby revitalizing the entire complex.
