Located at the west of 35-17 Tongui-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, the site is home to a symbolic pine tree, which is the largest type of tree in Korea. After the tree passed away in 1991, several shrubs and pine trees were planted in the area to commemorate the natural heritage of the past.
The Brickwell project, a newly constructed mixed-use building, demonstrates a deep sense of social responsibility by preserving the green space in its original form, enveloping the old resting place of nature. The designers took advantage of the abundant greenery, naturally connecting it with the alley, creating a peaceful and unique experience for everyone who walks through the Seochon area.
Sustainable Architectural Strategies of the Brickwell Project, designed by Society of Architecture:
- Near the area of the pine tree, a garden was created to naturally connect the alleyways, linking with an inner courtyard around a water feature at the center of the round building.
- The skylight, with a diameter of 10.5 meters, not only faces the interior space but also opens up to a terrace located between the second, third, and fourth floors. The garden adjacent to the pine tree area fosters a deep connection between the forest beneath the ceiling and the columns supporting it.
- The design primarily uses three types of structural materials: exposed concrete, granite, and brick. The brick defines the methods of interior and exterior circulation through various construction techniques, including both traditional and advanced brick building methods.

Developing a sustainable education ecosystem: Behind the green certification consulting process for BUV
Phase 2 of the BUV campus is designed and constructed to meet international standards, with a particular focus on the EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certification — a globally recognized green building standard developed by the IFC (a member of the World Bank Group). Beyond academic excellence, the new campus promotes a sustainable, environmentally friendly learning environment that enhances the overall experience for both students and faculty. Remarkably, only 20% of the campus area is used for construction, while the remaining space is dedicated to landscaping, greenery, and open communal areas. This design approach reflects a philosophy of harmony with nature and aligns with Ecopark’s vision — Asia’s leading sustainable urban area committed to green and livable spaces.
