韩国首尔大学宿舍一楼原本幽暗的低效率利用停车场被首尔大学一群学生Lee Sang-myeong, Ha Ki-seong, Baek Jong-ho和UTAA设计工作室联合设计改造成为一个休息区。

Prologue

The first floor of the dormitory in University of Seoul was originally an empty parking lot. An area enclosed by columns that supported the main office of the building, people would use the area only for smoking and storing bikes. The place was far too dark and inefficient and further desperately needed to be remodeled. In collaboration, the architectural students of the University of Seoul (Lee Sang-myeong, Ha Ki-seong, Baek Jong-ho) and UTAA designed a solution that would become much more than a simple rest area.

用片状的木板框出洞穴，并消除原本粗大承重柱所带来的压抑感。这些片状的木板营造出流畅宽敞的舒适空间，并且透光，通风。

Concept

The project was started in efforts to replace an empty area with a newly designed rest ‘hole’ that would serve as a place for people to enjoy themselves in relaxation. Prior to the renovation, the large columns that supported the structure would induce an unpleasant ‘heavy’ feeling to the structure; to lessen this, wooden panels were arranged to cover the columns and further improve the atmosphere by implementing a more fluid and spacious design. The spacing of the panels allows for light, sound, and air to smoothly pass and reinforces the concept of flexibility.

首先在选材上，木材因其适应性而被列为首选，建筑师们选择了35毫米厚的落叶松集成材进行切割，大约使用了500片左右的板材，其中每一片的形状都不一样。木材之间的间距是450毫米，而在形成座椅的地方，木材的间距只有90毫米，这样的间距可以保证坐卧的舒适性。

Process

Wood was an ideal material for its adaptability. As it was the first time to create curved panels, initially, the plan was to use 2×4 sheets of wood to form a rigid curve and then would be covered with plywood to create a curved shape. This method was discarded for its inefficiency and instead changed the material to a engineered wood called glulam that would allow for much more flexibility and planned efficiency.

The next problem was curving the glulam. We could not find a construction company or interior design firm that had experience in dealing with the material. Near the end of our search, we found a furniture designer named Shin Jung-hoon that had experience in using CNC Routers and could properly understand the intentions of the architect. About 500 panels of glulam were used and each with its own unique size and shape. Using connectors, the panels were secured so that there would be no loose ends.

In the rest area, there are 35mm thick boards of larch wood glulam that are spaced out 450mm apart. This method allows for the sections to be parts of the ceiling to then become part of a wall, a fence, or a window. Some of the panels are spaced out 90mm apart and form areas that resemble benches – these areas can be used to sit or lay down with minimal discomfort.

从不同的角度可以看到内部的千姿百态。内部曲线定义出舒适的站立和移动区，以及较为低矮的休闲坐区。冬季，这里会是较为温暖的庇护所，夏季，透过片片木板能看到外面美丽的大树。建筑师旨在让这里成为让人感到愉悦能够久待放松的地方。

From every angle and side, you can see a completely different view of the interior. The interior curves in and out so that there are areas that are ideal for standing and walking around, while the lower enclosed areas are meant for sitting down and relaxing.

In the winter, the interior acts as a warm shelter; in the summer, the area induces the feeling of siting inside a large tree as you gaze out to the exterior environment. The area serves its planned purpose as a pleasant area to spend some time relaxing.
