Description

Description

This project involves repurposing vacant commercial buildings into residential spaces to address the dual issues of surplus commercial real estate and housing shortages in South Korean major cities. The conversion includes architectural modifications such as installing sewage infrastructure by raising floors, addressing parking requirements through legal reforms, and ensuring privacy on the first floor through design adjustments. The project aims to increase housing supply rapidly and transform urban areas into mixed-use zones, inspired by examples like New York's loft conversions.
