An Interface of Light, Nature, and Architecture in Bukchon Hanok Village
At 61 Bukchon-ro, Jongno-gu, in the heart of Seoul’s traditional hanok cluster, FUTURA SEOUL bridges the grain of heritage architecture with a boldly contemporary exhibition infrastructure. The core is a main hall with roughly 10.8-meter clear height spanning levels 1–2, linked to upper terraces and a rooftop garden. Generous daylighting pulls the outside deep into the interior, so along the circulation you read layered vistas of light, nature, and city all at once.
