Archi-Fiore by the Korean architect studio Iroje Khm is just everything. No doubt about that — this unbelievably complex structure is meant to become the primary attraction of Seoul.
Developed through a smart vertical twisting of shapes, the building well merges a coffee shop with a restaurant and it gives a room to working offices and, on top of everything, it hosts a family home. Each space is completely detached from all the others. Still, the dynamic stairways link together the various floors throughout a harmonic movement.
This Korean architect studio, serial winner of design awards, is a well known for its careful study of shapes and balanced asymmetries, and Archi-Fiore is just the further confirmation of a winning career.
Despite the technical complexity, the structure is submerged with equilibrium and harmony in the surrounding environment. The Korean architect studio declaredly gave the building a kind of “negative” shape, totally opposed to the circular structure of a stadium-like gymnasium, so that anyone passing by would always remember it.
Looking for an unforgettable building to stare at and visit inside? Then Archi-Fiore is going to be your next-level obsession.
