The project
Archirie designed this 292 square metre café in a quiet village near Gyeryongsan, one of Korea's most celebrated mountains and a national park visited by hikers all year and crowds in cherry blossom season. The road to nearby Donghaksa Temple is busy with cafés and restaurants.
The two-storey building stretches across its sloping site in long, glazed bands framed by pale stone walls, opening the interiors to wide views of the mountains and to a sheltered courtyard. It was completed in 2024.
