Text description provided by the architects. This renovation took place at a site with two buildings side by side: one building W2 was a hanok built in 1949, and the other building W1 was a five-story commercial building extended in 1968. The two structures embody contrasting eras, materials, and functions - wood versus reinforced concrete, residential versus commercial, past versus present. Rather than repairing or replacing the existing conditions, the design harmonizes these disparate elements by superimposing a new order onto the layered temporality and materiality of the site.
