Why is the Seongsu showroom building angled in an L-shape?
This question arises when visiting the Seongsu showroom and seeing its unique structure, which is angled inward rather than being a neat rectangle, sparking curiosity about its background.
The unique L-shaped showroom structure was created through a renovation that joined two factory buildings totaling about 200 pyeong into one.
It is about 200 pyeong[1]. FLAT POINT flat point closed its existing Samseong-dong showroom and expanded and relocated in 2024 to the Seongsu showroom, which consists of a 1st and 2nd floor[2][3]. The building was not originally a single structure. By connecting two old factory buildings that stood side by side into one, a naturally angled L-shaped structure was formed[4].
They renovated it themselves. Rather than handing it over to an outside construction company, FLAT POINT took charge of the architectural renovation construction directly[5]. When interlocking two different buildings into one, structural processes such as breaking through walls and adjusting floor heights are essential. hmmm, the hands that designed furniture essentially worked directly on the very framework of the factory where the furniture would be placed.
We have not yet confirmed specifically what kinds of goods the two factories used to produce in the past.
