Yongsan Hashtag Tower

OPTIMIZED PLAN — 73% of the program is one size, which is why BIG focused on designing for the base condition. Doing so allowed to create ideal plans where each unit can have a surplus of light and views and at the same time allow for repeatable floor plates.

VIEW TO THE SOUTH EAST — Higher altitudes create better views. The taller tower takes advantage of this value by placing its excess program in an optimally oriented southeast facing bar high in the sky.

PUSH — While still maintaining critical distance, the two towers move towards each other to facilitate structure - this results in a performance bonus in terms of egress and apartment depth.

GREEN PARKS — With the introduction of the sky gardens, outdoor activities suddenly become accessible. Direct connections from the bar floors help to activate the spaces. Amenity floors are located so they can feed directly out onto the roof top parks.
