station NEO is a leading co-working office incubating tech startups in South Korea. The ultimate goal of Archi@Mosphere is to create a space enables flexible communication and synergy effect between tripartite; station NEO, startups, and supporters.

We create an environment where active synesthetic interaction occurs between members through offering a new form of co-working office where Korean unique sentiment applied in.

These days, Seongsu-dong is a booming business district in metropolis Seoul but the ordinary building where it is located has some issues: low ceiling height, a dark atmosphere, and a low-efficient environment for office. However, this building had structurally well-constructed and useful rooftop as a merit. So, we embodied the Korean sentiment in communal space by overlapping small pocket spaces and make it connect to circulation, so they can use it as a ‘communication hall’ which also minimizes dead space.

To enhance interaction frequencies between users, we located several courtyards that aligned along a vertical axis to the rooftop. In addition to this, we set each small pocket spaces to meet more than two sides to communal space so people can enjoy abundant sunlight while working. We tried to present future-oriented atmosphere by intangible airflow seems to flow around freely among the box-shaped spaces which could be seen in a different dimension.
