seoul-based practice SAMOO has won a design competition to build the ‘ulju government complex’ in south korea. the facility maximizes the site’s hillside location by creating various levels that allow visitors to readily enter and utilize the scheme. the lowest level of the podium provides easy access to public facilities such as the service center and the auditoriums, while on the upper level, a grand plaza provides a distinct location for events and gatherings.

for the tower, a simple façade was applied to convey a solid and stable image of the complex. the depth of the edifice’s floor plates have been optimized to allow cross ventilation with distinctive vertical louvers positioned across the exterior. scheduled for completion by 2018, the new government complex seeks to provide an original and engaging experience for citizens of the region.
