The Oreum Restaurant / Dajoo Architect

Near Seooreung in Goyang City, a small walking path exists. This walking path is frequented by those who have finished a simple meal after visiting the royal tombs. The owner of the building, situated at the starting point of the gentle walking path that people take after their meal to ascend lightly, wanted to refer to this large structure as "Oreum." Many people seek solace in nature when they wish to escape from the stark city and the weariness of daily life. Perhaps it's because nature constantly evolves, offering us new experiences and diverse emotions, instilling in us both reverence and comfort. Cafe Oreum has encapsulated the desires of its clients and unraveled the brand's story, aiming not just to be a café but also a cultural space where various experiences that one can feel in nature are available. The word "Oreum" encompasses the sense of ascending a small mountain, experiencing sensory experiences, emotions, and the changing scenery.
