“Without teeth, with gums”
-
it's underground Just looking at the photos, you can mistake it for a space on the ground. The light flowing through the walls and pillars subtly illuminates the interior, making the space pleasant and neat. Without a single strong pin light, the surface light that illuminates all sides evenly and the indirect light that is reflected once and flows through the wall creates a natural atmosphere like natural light even though it is not natural light.
-
The biggest drawback of the underground space is, of course, light. Even in a semi-underground, where the space is half immersed, the issue of light and ventilation is raised, but what about a completely immersed underground space? How to design the basement of a new building may be simple. Create gaps in various places to allow light and air to pass through, and if you can afford it, you can widen the gap to create a 'sunken garden', an open space that is underground but not underground. However, in this narrow land, in a city already filled with buildings without a single empty seat, building a new building can be a buzzword. For those of us who find it difficult to rent a single floor.

There is a proverb that if you don't have teeth, you can survive with your gums. As the saying goes, the behavior shown by 'soui', which will be introduced this time, is that the gums cannot completely cope with it, but they are overcoming the shortcomings of the underground space by suggesting the best alternative. Under the already built building, the underground space that could be used as a warehouse has been transformed into a pleasant one as described above. Looking at the photos, no one would have imagined that this was an underground space covered in dark, damp and musty musty. And those who have actually experienced the showroom will be amazed. It sure looked like the ground in the photo, but in reality it is underground, and once you enter the space, you will feel like you are on the ground again. The preconceived notions and smells and atmospheres that come from underground are not to be found here. Moreover, no facilities are exposed on the ceiling, so the space itself looks complete. Therefore, more and more people are attracted to the space and feel comfortable there. Even if it's underground.
-
They had to drill a hole in the already completed basement to let sunlight in, and they wouldn't be able to give up the basement floor, where rent was relatively cheap. So, if there is no light, they would have tried to overcome the disadvantages of the underground even with lighting. Without it, I created a new experience by mobilizing the best possible way to do what I could. That process is 'design', and the result is a space that gives a #good_experience.
