Established in Berlin, Korean eyewear brand YUN is a brand that preserves a technological delicacy and analogical remblance accommodated by the balance of eastern and western cultures. 

YUN Hannam is a place where the brand YUN and YUN teehaus coexist. In hopes of YUN Hannam becoming a place where one can be protected and get rested from the city like a bunker and an oasis, material of nature such as the desert symbolizing the city and its complementary, water was used to spatialize the contradistinction. Space was designed with the spatial concept of a bunker of the desert and pavilion of water. By utilizing the entrance of the space as the axis, we titled the space on the right for YUN as ‘bunker of the desert’ and space on the left for YUN teehaus as ‘pavilion of the water’. Through contrast and comparison of water and desert, we were able to materialize the design language. 

First, in similarity, repetition of the patterns was used as base. The right side of the space is a repetition of rhythmic and layered vertical structures which adds a structural sense of space. In contrast to the right, the left side is a repetition of horizontal structures for the gradual expansion of the space. 

Secondly, the repetition of patterns for the facade, the flooring and the wall structure was used to portray regularity and rhythmicity. 

Thirdly, patterns and structures through the repetition of materials fabricated the details of the space. Through the distinction of color and texture, a color that carries the gentleness and warmth of the desert meanwhile, a lively and rejuvenating color of water was expressed into the space. 

We used rough and matte textured materials for the desert yet, materials with glossy transparent textures of water to form a harmonized contrast of the desert and the physical properties of water. 

We Labotory want YUN and YUN teehaus to further firmate its philosophy through YUN Seongsu followed by YUN Hannam, and for the many to encounter Yun Hannam to experience the nuance solely to YUN.
