A bold architectural intervention becomes central to the design of the office façade of the new Hyundai Development Company headquarters. The entire composition was designed to integrate the headquarters with the public plaza, the below-grade spaces and any future development on the site. The design of the building, completed in February 2005, explores the depth of the facade as a space that will be locally accessible through volume and plane projections.
