The project will occupy part of a 30-square-meter room. This room is a studio, and the rest of the space will be used for shared warehouse. The rectangular room is surrounded by a 600 mm wide free space (whose purpose is undefined) in front and back. This free space acts as a buffer to protect the room from the context imposed by the existing building.

The project is following the standard dimensions of 1,220mm*2,440mm plywood modules. To reduce the chance of the modules, which are divided within the drawings, becoming warped on site, the spacing of the lines where the plywood meets follows the thickness of a saw blade. While all the lines in the project appear to be connected, one line on the floor is taking up the slack for all the connections. It's a way to achieve interdependence on a shoestring budget.

Minimize the fabrication of things that exist in the space, and maximize the use of industrial goods. This is because the use of unhacked commercial materials is not only a budgetary issue, but also ensures sustainability after completion.

The ceilings in the existing building were dropping, so i erected columns, which were placed along the floor modules. Order within a project is, and always has been, the strongest ally of any decision or choice. 

I covered most of the existing windows and left the opening open to the height of the ventilation window. I did this because I didn't think it was good to have a view of Seoul where you can't see anything but the car.

All you see is light. To be honest, I wasn't expecting it, it was just a loose plan that I thought it would be okay to be dark. In this hazy space, with the outside landscape gone, the sense of time passing is sharpened by the light. The cyclical activity of the sun rising and setting is unobtrusive and enjoyable.
