About Seoul Auction The Concierge Notranje oblikovanje

The Concierge v Seoul Auction na novo opredeljuje luksuzno maloprodajo skozi minimalistični koncept prostora v prostoru. Nemoteno integrirano v avlo podobno galeriji ponuja mirno, sofisticirano okolje, kjer preprostost izboljša doživetje ogleda. Velika steklena vrata in obsežno okno uravnotežita odprtost in diskretnost, medtem ko skrbno razporejena umetniška dela in lebdeče police neopazno vodijo obiskovalce. S sprejemanjem lepote praznega prostora The Concierge dviguje zaznavanje luksuza in izdelkom omogoča, da zavzamejo osrednje mesto.

Unique Properties
Located in Seoul Auction's lobby, The Concierge embodies minimalist architecture, seamlessly integrated with the white gallery. Designed as a space within a space, it balances openness and privacy with a large glass door and strategically placed artwork. Luxury products are showcased in rectangular boxes against all-white walls, emphasizing the beauty of blank space. This design highlights minimalist beauty, where every element serves a purpose and enhances the elegance of the space.
Dimensions & Packaging
The Concierge is W4590mm x L5550mm x H3000mm, situated within a lobby with an overall height of 4300mm. To optimize the space, we integrated the lobby’s air circulation and air conditioning system using an exposed ceiling structure. This design not only ensures effective air flow but also enhances a sense of openness and continuity. As a result, the space feels more expansive and inviting, complementing the minimalist aesthetic.

Production Technology
The design required high-precision craftsmanship to achieve a minimalist aesthetic within the existing lobby. We used a seamless joint technique to integrate new walls with existing ones. Lacking an electrical floor box, we routed electric and fire lines from the ceiling along the existing column, seamlessly concealing them to preserve the minimalist design. Located at the lobby corner with two sides facing the unmodifiable facade, we planned construction meticulously to avoid impact.
Design Challenge
One challenge was maintaining openness while ensuring privacy in a compact space. We achieved this by strategically placing the reception desk and using a transparent glass door and window that balance visibility and discretion, offering a serene consultation experience. Another challenge was making the space discreet by day but a showcase at night. We used the building's perforated skin and wood display shelves to control visibility, allowing The Concierge to softly glow at night, drawing attention subtly.
Research
An in-depth study of minimalism in traditional Korean art and architecture influenced the concept of beauty of blank space, showing that simplicity enhances the perceived value of luxury products. This insight guided the use of blank space to highlight watches and jewelry. The concept of space within a space emphasized harmony with the surrounding environment, leading to the seamless integration of The Concierge with the gallery of Seoul Auction's lobby with carefully positioned artwork.
Inspiration
The design of The Concierge was inspired by creating a serene, sophisticated environment that reflects the values of Seoul Auction. We aimed for a space that showcases luxury items while enhancing the viewing experience through simplicity. The space within a space concept fosters intimacy, inviting visitors while maintaining privacy. Our research into minimalist architecture emphasized light and space, leading us to embrace the beauty of blank space to elevate the perception of luxury.
Project Duration
This project started in May 1 and finished in June 3, in Seoul, Korea.
Operation Flow
The large glass door and window create an open, inviting atmosphere, reducing psychological barrier to entry. Strategically positioned, the reception desk ensures privacy during consultations, offering comfort for high-end clients. This balance of openness and privacy enhances customer interaction. The layout guides visitors through a rhythmic sequence of display areas, encouraging exploration without overwhelming them.
