The Cascade

The new government office for Jongno-gu embodies Seoul’s character and vision, designed to enhance user flow, comfort, and connectivity. With multifunctional spaces, it serves as a hub for meetings and social interaction by providing areas for both citizens and civil servant to gather. The building’s design encourages visitors to enjoy both the architecture and surrounding views, with public facilities accessible on the podium and within the building for seamless interaction. Passive design strategies, including air-scaling, large openings, and natural ventilation maximize user comfort and create an inviting experience for all.
