Cafe the great

The smart one Hannam-dong is the place to go when you don't have a plan, but want to enjoy a sophisticated and stylish cultural life. Itaewon and Noksapyeong can be reached on foot, so it is also a strategic location where you can change your view of the city at any time if you change your mind. For that reason, it's an area that comes to mind when you don't have a plan. Hannam-dong, as it has always been in the past, is a place full of modern sophistication. There are more art galleries nearby than in other areas, and the distance from the art museum is short. In addition, it is true that there are showrooms of several designer brands and showrooms of famous brands all at once, so it is true that this is helpful for planning. Lastly, as well as famous coffee shops, there are also well-prepared nice cafes all over the place, so if you want to enjoy a nice weekend, this place is effective. So this place is usually crowded. Where is the social landmark of Hannam-dong? If you ask a question, you will get various answers. There are many places that are frequently used as meeting places, such as 'Cheil Worldwide' and 'Blue Square'. However, if you want to actually explain the path of Hannam-dong, you will talk more about 'Hyundai Card Vinyl & Plastic' and 'Nari's House' rather than the above two cases. Although they are two very different spaces, what they essentially want to show are spaces that have taken root in many people's memories. So it is a reference point. There was originally a Vietnamese restaurant next to the frozen pork belly restaurant called Nari's House. A safety barrier for construction had been installed there for some time, and the veil was finally lifted. It is a simple building with a gable roof with a warm exterior that is quite different from the atmosphere of Hannam-dong. This form, which is perceived as a little bit of style on the basics, is actually close to the basics, but it is more effective than I thought, and there is room to give a rich sense of space rather than a simple hexahedral space. Will you be able to fully enjoy the triangular spiers from the first floor? Or will you be able to fully enjoy this upstairs? Since there are two paths, it is somewhat understandable to say that the basics are slightly stylish. All in all, this space is perfectly visible when standing on 'Hyundai Card Vinyl & Plastic'. When many people look for spaces in the alleys of Hannam-dong, it is usually located on the way up. After crossing there, it is a road with a lot of floating population. The side of the building facing the road is wide open, probably because it was trying to take down the area of the road. It is easy to see inside, and the atmosphere of the space is harmonized with the atmosphere outside the space, and the area of the space is naturally expanded. The interior is a space with a warm atmosphere that matches the exterior. The ceiling and floor were finished with wood. The circular staircase seen from the back of the station clearly looks like iron, but to match the atmosphere of the space, a wooden sheet is attached to make it clear what we want to show as a whole. The ceiling is low. Instead, the air conditioner stands out and hides the side surface well from being seen. Thanks to this, it is cozy and the pattern created by the wood is easy to read. Even the lines visible in space can be seen clearly, and as an experienced person, peace of mind comes to you. Basically, it is a showroom and a coffee shop. Considering the accessibility of the showroom and coffee shop, the cafe is definitely the winner. A coffee shop, recognized as a 'pronoun' of a space that can be heard comfortably, is zoning in a place with a lot of floating population [zoning: a word used when referring to the arrangement of major personalities in a space]. Even from a commercial point of view, this is an excellent method. The story of 'I went to a coffee shop comfortably and was looking around the showroom at the back without realizing it' is created with the arrangement of the interior of this space. In summary, this is a case where the value of space is brought to the extreme by arrangement. It is located where people mainly cross to enjoy Hannam-dong and has established itself as a socially aware meeting place. It is a space that induces a natural spatial experience by arranging a cafe with high accessibility in a place with a lot of floating population and giving a showroom in the back. And the visual image of the interior of the space is also excellent as a bait, so it is crowded. The boundaries between inside and outside are blurred a bit. The space creates a scene by creating an external space. The moment they see it, people unconsciously broaden the scope of this space and read it. Thanks to that, this street is again strengthening its character as the entrance to Hannam-dong alley. The layout of the space requires different strategies depending on the purpose. Its validity and effectiveness come from the city's information. This is the great Hannam-dong Cafe the Great.
