Leema Building Lobby
Seoul, Korea

The renovation of a major commercial building lobby in the heart of downtown Seoul is centered on a gently arcing wall of sandblasted and clear glazing. As one enters the new environment, the infiltration of natural light combined with glimpses of the street, keep one visually connected to the activity outside the building. The arc resists visual measure and thus causes the space to feel larger and more dynamic. The interaction of light, form and reflection resulting from the staggered rectilinear pattern of the tray ceiling allude to the complexity, interconnection and global nature of today’s business world.
