Fillome Mixed Use Building / SOSU ARCHITECTS

The Fillome Building Project began when two daughters received land from their mother, who lived there for 50 years. When she came up to Seoul and first settled there, it was a dark and desolate site located behind a factory. Then, the area went through huge changes and now became one of the busiest areas in Seongsu-dong. The site area is 142m2, and three sides of a narrow, triangle-shaped site are surrounded by roads. The project was complicated because it had to secure a floor area ratio of 400% for the heavy industry district, combine the rental commercial area and residence of three family members, arrange the building in consideration of natural lighting, make the building face the main roadside, and keep the essence of Seongsu-dong in a limited area.
