The Frame is the only place in downtown Seoul from which you can watch the changing of the seasons on Mount Umyeon-san while still soaking up the hustle and bustle of the city from the same window. The project responds to the societal trend toward single-person households with optimum-sized rooms in which residents can cook, eat, and live. Three large window frames structure the individual areas. In one, the bulthaup island with its dark gray aluminum front panels becomes the center. The tall units in lacquered matte kaolin are visually discreet and form the room’s outer shell.
