YG Entertainment, the producers of K-Pop, invited UNStudio to design their brand new headquarter building in Seoul. The new HQ is located on a site that borders two very different worlds. To one side, it abuts a low-density housing area, while on the other, it faces a dense network of highways and bridges and overlooks a large green park. This discrepant positioning informs the design, the building orientation and the internal organisation, while also serving to open up views towards the river from the interior workplaces.
The seven office levels are oriented towards the view to the park, a placement that ensures daylight on all working floors. The meeting and collaboration spaces on the first 4 floors face an interior atrium, which serves as a collective space in the heart of the building. This area acts as a central stage for the lower level offices and the recording studios, as well as for the users, staff and visitors. The interior facade of the atrium is punctuated by exposed capsule-like meeting rooms that can serve as either ‘working zones’ or ‘resting zones’. These capsules further enable visual interaction throughout the atrium and towards the office floors. On ground level, the atrium space hosts a hidden garden and functions as a ‘living room’ to welcome visitors. Semi-glazed zones are allocated in the transition towards the fully opaque facade. In some of these solid areas, especially those located towards the housing area, dynamic lines are used to highlight certain zones, while a perforation pattern and alternation of aluminium panels and glass provide a glimpse of the functions and activities inside the building.
During the day, the ‘urban speaker’ is designed to provide the best possible working environment for its employees from the inside out, whilst at night this workplace begins to glow and become an identifiable part of the city’s skyline. In the evenings the illumination concept of the various interior zones employs the facade lines and perforated hues to reveal a glimpse of various layers within the building, accentuating the quality of performance inherent to the entertainment and music industry.
韓國流行音樂(K-pop)的指標娛樂經紀公司 YG 娛樂,邀請 UNStudio 為其設計在首爾的全新總部大樓,其處在兩個截然不同區域的交界處,一邊是低密度居住區,另一邊則面向密集的高速公路和橋樑,俯瞰大型公園綠地。周邊環境的巨大差異決定了建築空間的組織結構,也帶給室內設計擁有開闊景觀視野的優勢。
七個樓層的辦公區域面向公園,為員工提供充足的陽光,其中一到四層樓的會議室和共用空間朝向室內中庭,是大樓核心區域的集合空間,這些區域面向使用者、員工和訪客,宛若建築的中央舞臺。中庭面向內部的一側設有小型膠囊式會議室,可供員工作業或休憩,同時營造大樓中庭與各個辦公樓層視覺上的互動。此外,一樓中庭設有一處隱蔽花園,是整個大樓招待訪客的花園會客廳。大樓的實心空間和過渡帶之外牆設計為半玻璃式,特別是朝向住宅區的部分,採用動態線條及穿孔鋁板與玻璃等交替設計,營造一種內部活動若隱若現的視覺效果。
在白天,這座宛如城市發聲器的建築是最舒適的工作場所,入夜後、點亮燈光,這座建築則成為城市天際線中一個標誌性的存在。尤其在傍晚時分,大樓內部各個功能區域燈光與外立面邊界線燈光內外呼應,營造多層次立體感,彰顯娛樂業和音樂行業固有的表演特性。
