The Design

About Studio Atelier11 Office

The building was based on a "triangle" with the strongest visual image of the original geometric form. If you look down from a high place, you can see a total of five different triangles The combination of triangles of different sizes means that "human" and "nature" play a role as a place where they meet.

Interviews

Design Interview

What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?

Our main idea was to create an architectural mediator between the urban grid and the natural landscape. Located at the intersection of planned urban structures to the north and organic nature to the south, the A11 Office Building embraces the topography and builds a spatial language that reflects this duality.

What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?

The design is rooted in primal geometry—specifically, the triangle. By layering and intersecting four triangular volumes, we created a composition that is both visually striking and spatially dynamic. These shapes respond to both environmental factors and human scale, transforming a simple form into a nuanced spatial sequence.

What are your future plans for this award winning design?

Balancing legal constraints such as the floor area ratio with our desire for a sculptural form was a major challenge. The solution came through stacking and rotating volumes, effectively cutting and adjusting spaces while still maintaining architectural coherence and regulatory compliance.

Unique Properties
The building layout is an triangle of strong visual image among the original geographic shapes and the combination of different sized triangles play a role of place that humans and nature encounter. the angle of hypotenuse cut considering the angle of incidence is 25.5 degrees open to the south and the square frame cut vertically to the rooftop represents a shape of Mt.Halla with white background which reflects the characteristics of local architecture

The interior as well as the exterior of the building is a triangle. Towards the wall on the side of the rain that gathers pointedly, there is a meeting table cut at exactly the same angle. The lighting on top of it is also a triangular horn. If you look up at the ceiling, you'll see the square window connected. The sun shining through the building creates a shadow of a triangle again.

Design Challenge
Triangle is like a bad duck in original architecture.
Not only is it not only used or unefficient compared to building costs, construction is also very difficult.
The land plan, born for efficiency in land use and construction, ironically produces numerous deformed triangles at the boundary.
The triangle was the most difficult and interesting challenge to push the design vocabulary from concept to detail.
Research
the 4 accumulated triangle boxes are the method to overcome the legal floor area ratio and the new spaces which are cut or shows different heights, are acting as new architectural device that connects people and provides sequence of various spaces by space experience due to the volume change in the simple shape.
Inspiration
Studio Atelier11 has the system with the line and grids that the urban development has accomplished recently to the north and the organic system that the natural patterns are preserved to the south, and located in the contact point that different road network of city plan.
Project Duration
Studio Atelier11 started in January 2018 and was completed in Jeju Island in February 2019
Operation Flow
In such place of compatibility, we made a direction to organize the space change based on abstract platonic shape as a complex that plays a role of intermediate medium while exposing the shape of the land.
