Perks, a newly established coffee brand, is located in a complex in Samsung-dong, Seoul. To cater to the area’s high proportion of office workers, Perks was designed with a focus on takeout coffee. First, we decided to make the most of the high ceilings of the space’s existing structure. Once customers enter the café, they can feel a surprising sense of openness that cannot be felt outside. The 3.6m wide interior wall is finished with a vertical grain veneer that multiplies the space’s verticality.
