Songpa-gu, Seoul • Cafe
A nursing home on Gyeongnidan-gil Hill, with a children's playground - is a plot often seen in moving movies. It is a story that develops through a collaboration between an old old man and a newcomer, solving the case, acknowledging the generational difference between the two, learning from each other, and developing through new methods. For example, the movie 'The Intern' starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway, 'Men in Black' starring Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, 'The Black Priests' starring Yunseok Kim and Dongwon Kang, and relatively recent films starring Sungki Ahn and Seojun Park It can be said that the 'lion' of The main contents of this movie are different in company life, alien invasion, exorcism, etc., but as the secondary story line closes the gap between the new and old generations, the more scenes that create synergy with each other, the more the main contents begin to be resolved. In this way, it can be seen that when the good points of the old and the new meet each other by narrowing the gap, synergy is created. - The space we are introducing today is probably the same. - If the gap between the good things of the past and the good things of these days is narrowed, wouldn't a space like this come out? - On the exterior of the building, brick tiles with patterns that are rare these days are attached from the second floor to the roof floor. While making it possible at once to imagine that the first floor probably had the same exterior. Brick tiles of warm colors and large granite stones with a familiar but clean appearance emphasize the windows. The size and methods of granite are greatly different from the existing granites, so the material is familiar, but the proportions and uses must be these days. So is the inside. As it is these days, the interior space is designed in a way that the deep windows and the resulting empty spaces are wisely hidden by bookshelves, chairs, and air conditioning facilities. Thanks to this, the ceilings, columns and corner walls are neatly placed and you can focus on the proportions of the materials and the background outside the window. The coffee there is not old coffee. This is a very tasty coffee that fits the trend these days. This cafe on the first floor looks like a newly created space by cutting out the bottom of the building by surgery. In the basement, the space is organized in such a way that exhibitions and work can be done together in line with today's space trends. Of course, on the 1st and 3rd floors, the furniture is made of wood, the floor is old-fashioned, and the railings and windows are made of old materials as they are today. - The nursing home on Gyeongnidan-gil Hill is located with a children's playground. Children run around together in the space where the elderly gather. The mothers who came here seem a little more comfortable and easier than other playgrounds, thanks to the care of grandparents and grandparents. Seniors are happy to spend time with children by beckoning and unpacking stories as if their grandchildren had come. Children seem to enjoy talking and playing with grandparents. This structure is a win-win for each other as a result, but if you think about it, security is also strong. There is a factor that adds a little more to the +value. - The invisible relationship is the harmony of old and new, and these values are newly created. - Of course, so is the visible building. - Show value beyond the new with the harmony of the old and the new (SHOW). - A space containing the rebalancing of values, this is #HOWS. - architechu
