Details

Woori Hospital of Korean Medicine is a medical facility operating both traditional Korean and contemporary Western practices. Korean medicine is often considered outdated and unprofessional, even in Korea. We wanted to communicate the lineage of Korean values and their technological evolution. The core inspiration was derived from traditional paintings and traditional housing, "hanok." Maintaining a contemporary yet hygienic atmosphere, we’ve interpreted the traditional values through design structure and amalgam of industrial materials. With ceiling extensions, redesigning the traditional window, the design solves the tightness of the site.
