Conditions of the Site - MRNW Daegu is a project that transforms an inherited landscaping tree farm cultivated by the client’s father in the past, into a new space. The site located on the northern border of Daegu was designated as a restricted development area and used as a landscaping farm for 20 years. The south side of the site faces Donghwacheon-ro (two-way six-lane road) and the north side faces Hoguk-ro (one-way one-lane road). Donghwacheon-ro is about 2.3m higher than the site level. The boundary of the site facing Hoguk-ro was made of a farm fence and pine trees over the fence. When the project launched, the site was full of landscaping plants that the client’s father had grown for 20 years with his affection for trees and also for sale. An old garden was in an expansive lawn yard and five warehouses were arranged around it, in front of the management housing.
