Façade System (Key Strength)
The perforated screen is the dominant element:
It acts as a veil rather than a wall, mediating between interior and exterior.
The small, repetitive grid contrasts with the distorted overall form—this tension is compelling.
The red interior glow suggests:
Programmatic intensity (the “catharsis” idea could live here)
Or a constructed/artificial interior world vs. neutral exterior

The performance of the building was approached as a holistic concept encompassing energy efficiency, resource conservation, and environmental stewardship, working in concert with education and employee health and well-being. Along with goals for LEED Gold and the most rigorous sustainability certification in Korea, the project focuses on the quality of the work environment through roof terraces, courtyards, and other measures that increase access to natural light and air for employees. Other sustainable measures include: green roofs; recycled materials; and utilizing a bubble deck slab that reduces the amount of concrete used by 30%. The distinctive brise-soleil system on the western façade is both a performative and symbolic feature of the building; the façade units have been parametrically shaped to balance shading and views, and are made from a GFRP formulation that uses one of Kolon’s own high-tech fabrics, Aramid, to dramatically increase the material’s tensile strength. Together, the building's siting, spatial qualities, and technological innovations express Kolon’s investment in and commitment to sustainability.
