The outpatient center, facing the main road, features an atrium design in the façade, generating a new symbolic presence to the hospital. Entrances are strategically placed near Konkuk University station and the main building to enhance accessibility. A passageway was planned to strengthen the connectivity between the main building and the expanded outpatient center, prioritizing user convenience in the space layout. Additionally, dedicated spaces for medical staff have been created to allow them to focus on treatment, research, and rest. The core of the existing building was utilized in the steel framed parking lot, reducing cost and construction time, and offering a rational and efficient alternative through phased construction planning. The proposal was highly praised for presenting an efficient and optimized layout for users, architecturally resolving the connection with the existing building, and providing effective solutions to potential issues during construction.   【Design overview】 · Site location: Konkuk University Hospital, 120-1, Neungdong-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul · Site area: 17,171㎡ · Building area: 8,507.73㎡ (Expansion 2,244.23㎡) · Total floor area: 91,587㎡ (Expansion 4,596㎡) · Building coverage: 49.55% · Floor area ratio: 249.73% · Scale: B4F-13F (Expansion 3 ground levels)   【Participants】 · Healthcare Design: Taesang Lee, Chunhaeng Kim, Wonil Lee, Kangyun Lee, Boseung Kim, Yeonju Kim, Sohee Kim, Uiryeong Jung, Donghu Kim, Beomyong Choi, Jaeyoon Lee  · CM: Seungyeol Lee, Gwangho Jeon, Shinwoo Lee, Sungkil Um, Mujung Kim, Seunghwan Im, Donghee Kim  · MIM: Woonghee Kim, Hongil Noh  · Urban Team: Taehyun Yoo

Gansam was selected for the architectural competition of the development project for Goseong Hwajinpo Lake tourist area.  It was highly praised for overcoming the limit of green conservation areas to enhance land utilization, the diverse wellness programs, and their arrangement to maximize customer experience, and the thoughtful design that considered not only customer convenience but also the management and operation of facilities by working staffs.   "A new wellness resort offering meaningful experiences with local nature” Redefining Luxury : Living with Nature After the pandemic, the tourism and leisure industry has been focusing on developing new resort destinations to meet the rapidly changing customers’ needs. As COVID-19 transitions to an endemic, the previously suppressed demand for outdoor activities is rapidly increasing, and with the advancement of AI and big data analysis, we are facing an era of hyper-personalization. In response to these changes, resort development must shift away from targeting the baby boomer generation as the primary customer base and instead plan concept resorts that consider the preferences and demographic size of the millennial generation. Goseong Hwajinpo Hotel & Resort introduces Korea's first true wellness resort with a new customer experience-centered social spa village and sustainable connections to the local area and nature. Located in the pristine natural environment of Hwajinpo Lake, this resort will be an ideal destination optimized for the lifestyle and preferences of future generations as an experience-centered concept resort.            ■ Design overview · Site location: 84 Chodori, Hyeonnae-myeon, Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do area · Site area: 170,233㎡ · Building area: 51,221.68㎡ · Total floor area: 195,295.64㎡ · Building coverage: 30.09% · Floor area ratio: 62.74% · Scale: B3F-14F   ■ Participants · Architects: Hyosang Lee, Myeongryul Lee, Byungsoo Ko, Jinwoo Kim, Kiwoong Sung, Daeho Jeon, Jihwan Kim, Jihye Kim, Taehoon Kim, Dayoung Kim, Dayeon Lee, Minwoo Kim, Hyunji Choi, Taewoo Kim, Joowon Jung, Yoonjung Ji, Wonseon Kwon, Jinjae Kim, Jihan Lee, Jaehee Woo, Jaemin Byun, Chaeun Lee · Landscaping: Yoonsang Shin, Yeona Jung, Yoonhee Jang · GDS: Seungyeon Lee, Boyeon Ham, Seyoung Joo, Younghoi Cha · CG: Bongseop Lee, Jungsik Min, Kwangmin Lee, Jinho Yoo, Haesung Kang

By utilizing ground-level drop-offs (double decks) on each floor, Gansam separated entry and exit points for vehicles, minimizing traffic congestion, and lowered entry levels to enhance accessibility for pedestrians. Spiritual Atrium was designed as a bright and mild lobby space with natural lighting, taking a role as a hub space connecting existing and expanded building. For the increasing visitors’ demands facilities were efficiently rearranged by medical department, and outpatient and infection control centers were completely separated for independent operation to prepare for pandemics. As a result, the architecture was highly praised for addressing transportation issues, harmonizing with existing buildings, connecting internal and external spaces through central hub, and designing with a patient-oriented approach in response to the evolving medical environment.        ■ Design overview · Site location: 65-1, Geumo-dong, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do and 7 lots · Site area: 23,200㎡ · Building area: 12762.88㎡ · Total floor area: Expansion 55,316㎡/ Remodeling 32,639㎡ · Building coverage: 55.01% · Floor area ratio: 272.59%  · Scale: B6F-14F     ■ Participants · Taesung Kim (CDO), Moochan Park (CMO) · Healthcare Design: Taesang Lee, Cheonhaeng Kim, Bokyung Kim, Wonil Lee, Suhyun Kim, Sohee Kim, Yuyoung Hwang, Heeryoung Jo, Jaeyoon Lee, Minhyuk Jeon, Donghu Kim · Creative Design: Myeongryul Lee, Seongbeom Park, Sanggyu Park, Ingu Yoon, Yuri Heo, Chanwoo Kim, Shinjong Kim, Young-ho Park, Mijin Seok, Beom Shin, Beomsu Kim, Jongwoon Oh, Minseok Gil, Kijung Kim · Design Strategy Division: Taehyeok Kim, Hayoung Kim, Minjeong Park, Jieun Na · Landscape Team: Yoonsang Shin, Yeji Im, Jimin Im · BIM Team: Yongsoo Kim, Jewoo Park, Yeonghwan Ryu, Osang Im, Jinhyeok Hong · CM Division: Minsu Song, Kwangho Jeon, Seonggil Eom, Mujung Kim
