Nam-Hae, South Korea
Namhae Local Food Complex Cultural Center is located on a site surrounded by mountains and the sea. In such a beautiful natural environment, architectural projects are not exaggerating when they say that the landscape creates the project rather than the architecture being the main character. To design in harmony with nature, the surrounding context was architecturally reinterpreted and reflected in the architectural elements. As if originally placed on the land, the roof is formed according to the shape of the mountains in the foreground. A simple yet elegant roof creates a creative space underneath and serves as a container for various programs. This roof is an element that participates in the sequence of the project and provides stability by uniting it, but depending on its location, it can also create sharp lines that introduce tension.
