There is an aesthetic regarding the idea of “slowness” in the story of “Korean Cuisine and Dinning”, a food documentary. Cooking rice requires time of waiting while having an empty bowl. The space is similar to how the original taste of the ingredients disappear when the seasoning is strong. Through emptying the Korean traditional place like how nature and humans were drawn in and communicated, instead of embodying the superficial imitation of the traditional space, we intended to embody the actual identity.

Entrance
The entrance is a space meeting the kitchen without any ornaments, and exhibits placing the moon jar used to contain paste or salted fish used in the past practical life. For the flooring, even though there is a door for Hanok kitchen, considering the fact that it is connected to the exterior, earth is made of gravel and bricks material, this implies that customers can enter unconstrained and communicate through demonstrating the interior and blurring the interior boundary.

Interior
Once you go into the actual interior, you are encountered with the ceramic objects made by the artist Hyeon Jung Lee. This object is rough like the white porcelain dish but possesses the naturalness that anyone can get along with. The delicacy of the color “white” from the white porcelain is not just a simple color but symbolizes an infinite space. Above the dish, there is an art piece that embodies rice which contributes to the richness of our dining table.

Room
In the center of the space, there is a room that is floating above water. It is a space where the concept of room and house is harbored and plays the role of connecting the back part of the space which plays the role of the floor, the water space of the front part and nature, and the surrounding environment (object). This symbolizes an open space where superposition and interpenetration are done through an ambiguous boundary. 

The door of this room becomes the wall like how the Korean Architecture does not distinguish the interior and exterior space. With an open structure, when the door opens, the interior and exterior space penetrates. Instead of space division, it becomes part of the whole and draws in the exterior nature into the interior. Functionally, it is open in the daytime, and anyone can use it as seats, and at night it can be used privately through the reservation system.

Ink-and-wash painting space Instead of completely blocking space to space, for spaces that are functionally eye-catching, we protect the privacy by adopting the concept of our ink-and-wash painting which harbors emptiness and leisure, and we applied the concept of leisure or pale Indian ink on the rest of the spaces. The superpositioned landscape adds richness instead of cross-section and demonstrates a diverse and abundant sequence that looks different depending on the position.
