“The Bricks“ by Doojin Hwang Architects
"The Bricks“ by Doojin Hwang Architects combines traditional building material with innovative features, namely an exposed stairway that ascends from the ground to the fifth floor creating a spiral line all around the building.
The simple bricks contrast with the dynamic, modern line of the glass stairway, making this unique concept the signature feature of the architecture. The completely visible stairway also creates the impression of reveling a little bit of the inside of the building and at the same time provides a great view from every side when walking up.
Furthermore the architects applied several different types in layering the brick and placing the fenestration, creating the effect of a partly transparent, semi-transparent and sometimes opaque façade.
“The Bricks” is located Daehangno, a vibrant neighborhood Seoul, Korea which is mainly famous for its small theaters and its outdoor performances of young talents. The building was designed to match the lively culture and the spirit of the area and therefore provides a theater with an eight meters high stage in the basement floor.
The rest of the building is planned for lease and the top will be used a romantic garden where one can enjoy the vividly scenery of the district.
