"A Paint Company Office Inside a Former 'Robot House' - Located in Yongin City, South Korea, this project transforms a deteriorated residential building designed in the postmodern architectural language of the late 1980s into a new office for Dukwoo PCI, a small-scale paint company. The original structure was defined by its playful geometric forms and circular windows that evoked the silhouette of a robot from Japanese animation. Despite its iconic appearance, the building's aging materials and outdated structure made it unsuitable for contemporary office use."

Located in Yongin City, South Korea, a deteriorated residential building from the late 1980s was converted into a new office for Dukwoo PCI, a small-scale paint company. The original building was expressed in the postmodern architectural language, characterized by playful geometric forms and prominent circular windows that evoked the silhouette of a robot from Japanese animation. The façade and forms remained recognizable as iconic elements of the design. Aging materials and an outdated structural layout rendered the building unsuitable for modern office needs, prompting a transformation that adapts the interior program while preserving the building’s distinctive external geometry and symbolic character.
