Common Ground
Architecture
KOLON GLOBAL CorporationCommon Ground is the result of an experiment of revitalizing unused land in the middle of the city. By applying prefab methods, e.g. producing modules in a factory, transporting them to the construction site and assembling them on-site, it was possible to reduce the construction time of the 5,300 m² building to five months. In order to maximize the usage efficiency of the elongated rectangular shaped land, the architectural form is based on a center square connecting two buildings. At the traffic-heavy main street side, container modules were stacked to give the building exterior more impact and draw attention from passers-by.
