DONGSEONGNO

Tourist Information Center

Typology. Public - Tourist Information Pavilion 
Scope. Spatial Design · Installation Design 

Completion. 2025. 12.

Location. Donseong-no 2-ga, Jung-gu, Daegu 

Located at the entrance of Dongseong-no, this project establishes a symbolic base for a stay-oriented tourism district. Designed as both the starting point of the stamp tour program and an information hub offering promotional and cultural content, the center functions as a gateway connecting visitors to the identity and experiences of the area.


The architectural concept focused on creating a lightweight structure that does not disrupt the existing streetscape, while maintaining a distinct presence both day and night. Subtle sculptural qualities and carefully selected colors reflect local identity, ensuring visibility without overwhelming the surrounding urban fabric.


The result is a compact yet iconic tourism landmark that strengthens Dongseong-no’s role as a representative cultural and visitor destination in Daegu.

INHERITANCE

The ‘INHERITANCE’ Lounge is a branding and interior design project developed to reposition Eldis Regent Hotel as a premium urban destination. While preserving the hotel’s strengths in accessibility and practicality, the project reinterprets its accumulated history and sense of place, transforming the lounge into a core space that defines the hotel’s renewed identity. The lounge is designed as a sequential spatial journey, where the atmosphere gradually deepens from the open lobby toward more intimate inner zones. Curved forms and fluid circulation guide movement naturally, while a variety of seating typologies support both casual stays and focused moments. The innermost area, inspired by the concept of a “cave,” offers a sense of retreat and immersion, allowing guests to step away from the city and into a carefully orchestrated spatial narrative.


Light, Nature, and Fragrance as Design Language 

Light, nature, and fragrance serve as the primary design languages of the space. Layered lighting creates subtle contrasts and shifting moods throughout the day, while real planting and nature-inspired materials bring warmth and vitality indoors. A signature scent, developed specifically for the lounge, completes the experience—quietly embedding the brand into memory through an invisible yet powerful sensory layer.


From Interior Design to Integrated Branding 

More than a lounge renovation, ‘INHERITANCE’ is a fully integrated branding project encompassing spatial planning, interior design, graphic identity, and scent branding. From concept to execution, every element was developed as part of a unified system, redefining the hotel not simply as a place to stay, but as a destination to be remembered.
