More photographs have been revealed for Herzog & de Meuron‘s monolithic triangular ST SongEun Building in Seoul, South Korea.

Located in the heart of Cheongdam Dong, one of the busiest commercial and luxury fashion epicenters in Seoul, the building opened to the public on 30 September, 2021.

Named ST International HQ and SongEun Art Space, it is the first project of the studio completed in South Korea. 

Distinguished with its triangular concrete shape, the building aims to become “a cultural anchor” inviting the public in, expressing difference and openness despite, or rather because of, its hermetic street side.

The 8,167-square-metre building consists of an experimental and unexpected mix of art spaces, offices, and public areas distributed above and below ground. Creating a new urban complex, the building invites the public to engage with contemporary art.

The building contains art studios and exhibition areas for the SONGEUN Art and Cultural Foundation, a non-profit organization established in 1989 – together with headquarter offices for ST International.
