C-PROJECT Commercial and Office Building / GAGAHOHO Architects

The headquarters building in Ipae-dong, between a residential area and a factory, began at the request of a company trading Japanese alcohol. The site is located in Ipae-dong, Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do, and although it is a general residential area, it is surrounded by a cluster of factories and warehouses. The unique point is that the site has very unfavorable conditions for planning as it is located within an urban planning facility and is adjacent to an existing road, and because it is a residential area, it has disadvantages such as limited access to sunlight and the need to resolve roads and levels. In addition, due to noise and flying dust from the surrounding industrial area, it had somewhat uncomfortable conditions for being located as an office building. When I visited the site, I noticed that the existing building had already been demolished and the surrounding area was densely surrounded by factories and warehouse buildings, so I began to worry about how to approach the image of the new office building.
