Gyeongju National Museum Silla History Gallery Lobby Renovation
Category
Best Implemented Interior Design Project for Public Space
About the project
The visual goal was to design a simple yet compelling and sophisticated lobby space by carefully mixing bold architectural gestures with detailed craft works. The space reveals it's modern and simple aesthetic by neutral-toned marble walls and floors but blends it with hand crafted wood louvre details and concealed lighting to show the intricate side. Central ceiling structure, a focal point within the lobby space, inspired by Silla's architecture first seems to express a bold gesture but completes subtly by combining indirect lighting, wood details, and bronze mirrors. Also, lighting columns that reinterpret traditional pillars are added to emphasize the spatial symmetry & to add rhythm into the space.
