Given conditions
In this large-scale café, arrival, ordering, exploration and rest needed to form one coherent experience rather than a series of disconnected moments.
CAFE & BAKERY · Yongin, South Korea
ARIRANG DOWON
PROJECT STORY
A landscape shaped within a vast interior.
We brought a scene of mountains and water, planting and light into a tall, dark structure. From the entrance and counter to the seating areas, the character of the space unfolds through changing heights and distances.
DESIGN RESPONSE
Design decision
We placed a void and waterscape at the centre, translating the landscape of Irworobongdo through ink-dark walls, planting and light.
Completed change
The central landscape can be shared from every level, allowing visitors to read the sequence of the space naturally.
