Geongangmi Spa & Aesthetic Brand's new shop in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul. At 320m2 spanning across two floors, this space seamlessly blends Korean traditional beauty and modern sensibility. Creating this haven required a delicate balance between customer needs and designer intent, resulting in harmonized experiences.
For us, customization isn't just about fitting thoughts snugly together; it's about harmonizing varying perspectives to reach a shared destination. This process extends beyond thoughts to shape the very form and function of the space.In our pursuit of tailored perfection, we carefully selected materials that merge rough with smooth, old with new, calm with unboring. The interplay between different textures and finishes emphasizes the fundamental aspects of shape – points, lines, surfaces – creating a space that feels both familiar and delightfully new.
The second floor, where gives first impressions, welcomes guests by using warm-toned wood and a soft 4000k color temperature. The third floor, where therapy unfolds, radiates a peaceful ambiance with dark wood and a gentle 3000k color temperature.
Through a fusion of wood, stone, and light, we aimed to create an ambiance that feels simultaneously familiar and innovative.Points become Pauses, Lines become Movement, and Surfaces become Space. Furniture strategically placed for function transforms into Points, while tall, straight corridors become Lines. Together, these elements seamlessly meld into Surfaces, completing the space.
With their unrivaled expertise and elegant, functional design, Geongangmi aspires to captivate attention, guide movement, and become a fascinating environment where people linger and wind down.
