Kohn Pedersen Fox creates skyscraper as gateway to Seoul



Kohn Pedersen Fox has completed the Bundang Doosan Tower, which consists of two 27-storey towers connected by a sky bridge and sits next to a highway that leads to Seoul in South Korea.
Built as the headquarters for South Korean conglomerate the Doosan Corporation, the 130-metre high building stands alongside a toll gate on the Gyeongbu Expressway leading to Seoul.
Kohn Pedersen Fox's design for the block was informed by the shape of Seoul's historic city gates.

"Fronting the major highway, Bundang Doosan Tower stands at a significant gateway connecting Seoul to the rest of the country," said Kohn Pedersen Fox design director Brian Chung.
"The gateway design becomes a visual marker for about 1.2 million daily drivers who would be entering and leaving the city," he told Dezeen. "It has been designed with the old city gate, Sungnyemun ? one of the eight gates in the fortress wall of old Seoul ? in mind, which was considered the main portal in and out of the city since the 14th century."

The headquarters consists of two office towers connected by a four-storey high sky bridge.
In total, the headquarters contains 83,000 square meters of office space along with an auditorium, employee daycare, fitness centre, cafe and museum dedicated to Doosan's history.
