Yellow Foot Residential Building / OA-Lab

Open boundaries for communications with neighborhood - “Yellow Foot” is an apartment project located in the mid-size residential district of Seocho-dong in Seoul, Korea. This type of neighborhood is densely packed with small and middle-sized housing and accounts for about 40% of the total population of Seoul. Here, it is typical that buildings are surrounded by either blocking walls or parking lots along the streets without respecting pedestrians. There is no idea of public spaces and activities, so buildings are isolated from the streets behind walls and parking lots. In this situation, the “Yellow Foot” apartment is intended as an attempt to create open and engaging relationships between the private and public.
