Rather than one big building, we placed small-scale buildings that blend within urban tissue.

We conducted an architecture as a village.

And by designing a podium that connects four buildings, the entire building can be integrated into one.

Existing buildings were able to freely re-configure windows through steel structure reinforcement. The podium serves as a raised courtyard facing the ocean.

SHLTR offers a shed for people to wander freely within the architecture while experiencing the mountains, sea, wind, and light of Sokcho.
