PYEONGHWA MARKET ADAPTIVE REUSE PROJECT

Location: Cheonggyecheon-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul

Type: Mixed-Use Office

Instructor: Professor Daniel Valle

2019 Fall

The project is an adaptive reuse project, transforming a 3-story 246.91m long wholesale market into a mix-used office building. The concept of this project is to integrate different types of working space, creating a co-working environment for designers, freelance, and small or start-up enterprises in the fashion industry.

Locating at the fashion hub at Dongdaemun open 24/7/365, the site is next to a high dense people flow, however, the vertical connections enclosed at the end of the building isolates the crowds outside. Project breaking the original narrow circulation, improving internal arrangment and connectivity, and striking to enhance the connection of the building to the surrounding. Instead of monotonous spatial, the project tries to diverse user experience by breaking the rule of space arrangement.

Issue Design Process

The site is 246.91m long, approximately 2.5 times of international football field length. Original building assigns the whole layer for wholesale usage and partial retail, bottom layer open at daytime, while two upper floors operate for midnight sessions.

Existing inner spatial is more linear and uniform, thus, the project focus on breaking down the rule and try to diverse the space form, striving to improve connectivity between site and surrounding.

Remix and zoning

To improve connectivity between site and surroundings, workspace zone and public spaces are remixed. workspace zone and public spaces are further partitioned based on the level of accessibility, level of collaboration, and privacy.

Flexible border enables privacy changes, studio alternatively connects with shared space.

Fabrication room Photo Studio Multi-purpose hall Individual Space Display Zone Discussion Zone Cafe/ Dining Area Media Room Lounge Meeting Room Warehouse Logistics Studio

Co-working Space Offce

Boundary-free open space with different zoning.

Isolated offices of different sizes interweaving with shared facilities.
