en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on April 28 that the building review for the "Seosomun Area 1-2 District Taepyeong-ro Building Renovation Project" was approved at the 6th Building Committee meeting. Located near Seoul City Hall Station, the building will be renovated into an eco-friendly smart office building.

Taepyeong-ro Building Renovation Project

The Taepyeong-ro building, with 7 underground floors and 26 above-ground floors, has been used as an office facility for approximately 28 years since its completion in 1998. To create a future-oriented work environment, the owner applied for renovation approval from the Building Committee. This smart office building will maintain its original building use while adopting eco-friendly design to build a smart work environment and improve spatial efficiency. The building will incorporate technologies for automatic control of sunlight, daylighting, air conditioning, and illuminance to reduce energy consumption.

The building's exterior will feature a full curtain wall construction to ensure a sense of openness. With its improved aesthetics, the urban landscape of the Seosomun-dong area will also be enhanced. After renovation, this smart office building will also improve accessibility to the open space connected to Sejong-daero Tree-lined Road, provide a resting space in the city center, and create a pedestrian-centric environment that organically connects with the surrounding area.

A Seoul Metropolitan Government official stated: "Once the Taepyeong-ro building is renovated into a smart office, corporate leasing demand will increase, which is expected to help revitalize the local commercial district and enhance the city's brand value."
