在首尔最繁华的江南区三成洞中心区域，GL associates公司总部“竹塔”以结合“空间、设计师、期望”的理念屹立在密集的建筑群中。江南区目前已有数不胜数的大大小小的办公室和联合办公空间，而我们的目标是创造出对使用者产生良好影响并且区别于这些建筑的大楼。我们关注不同人群在这里聚集的场所特性，深入思考通过挖掘“偏好”这一关键词来打造空间。“竹塔”正是这些想法的成果，它是一个涵盖工作空间、租户办公室、竹林、各种便利及文化设施的共享办公楼。

The Bamboo Tower, which is the headquarters of GL associates begins with a concept that combines ‘Space, Designer, Desired’, a space desired by designers’, within the small site between the other buildings that are compactly arranged in the middle of Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, the most urban place in Seoul. At present, there are countless large and small offices and co-working spaces in Gangnam-gu. We aimed to create a building that can exert a good influence on users by differentiating it from these buildings. Focusing on the placeness of various people gathering here, we thought deeply about forming a space by deriving the keyword ‘preference’. Bamboo Tower is a result of these thoughts, and is a shared office where the Work Space, the occupant’s office, and Bamboo Collection, various convenience and cultural facilities, coexist.

每层楼提供的空间都是可以灵活使用的，它们考虑了不同使用者的工作方式和使用方式。其中，协作空间是向个人和企业开放的办公空间、汇聚各种生活方式的文化艺术空间，也是人们边联合办公边共享信息、技术和想法的合作交流空间，除此之外，这里还设有竖向研讨空间、可以根据需求进行改变的多功能空间、有助于通风和自然采光的休息空间，该休息空间同时也是餐厅和联合办公空间之间的过渡空间。

The spaces provided on each floor are flexible spaces that have considered the various work styles and lifestyles of the users. The collaborative space, which is an open-type office for individuals and companies as well as a space for culture and art where various lifestyles gather, is a space of collaboration and exchange where people share the office and work together while freely sharing information, technology, ideas, etc. A vertically extended seminar space, a multipurpose space that can change according to the needs, and a resting space that helps ventilation and natural light and is a transfer space between the restaurant and collaborative space are included.
