Through the first-floor window of the store, I saw people working inside. What kind of space is that?
Passing by the front of the store and seeing people working beyond the window, one wonders whether it is an office or a workshop. One becomes curious why the work scene is visible on the floor where people enter to look at clothes.
Because a pattern room is located on the first floor with large windows, passersby can directly watch the work of drafting clothing patterns.
Usually, the first floor of a store is where finished clothes are placed. Mirae Building, the company headquarters of LOW CLASSIC, placed the room for making clothes in that spot. The first-floor pattern room is designed with large windows so that the work scene is visible even without going inside[1].
Pattern making is the stage where design sketches are transferred into draft pieces that can actually be cut, the point where the shape of the clothing is determined before sewing begins. That room is on the first floor, and a lounge and garden continue on the same floor[2]. Floor 2 houses the design studio and showroom, and Floor 3 is a floor where LC line products are placed, while also serving as an activity space named 'Mirae Project'[3][4]. In the basement, there is a dining space called a canteen and a garden[5][6]. Around 40 people work together in this building[7].
Lee Myung-shin stated that she wanted to make Mirae Building into a communication space[8]. hmmm, communication is usually an exchange of words, but in this building, a single sheet of window glass plays part of that role.
The hours during which the work in the first-floor pattern room can be viewed or the conditions for visitors to observe have not yet been confirmed.
