The neighborhood of Gyeonguiline book street nearby Hongdae, one of the hottest places in Seoul, is where memories of young cafe culture and Indie Culture exist. 1,047 of about 4,120 publishers in Mapo-gu are concentrated in Hongdae. Reflecting the local feature, the book street has been formed with an outdoor library, a bookstore, a book cafe, and etc. based on the book theme. Hanbit Publishing Network is located on the hill near the beginning of Gyeonguiline Forest. The reason why it is built on the steep hillside area was intended to focus more on publishing in the relaxing environment by keeping its distance from a crowded place. On top of that, it was meant to be designed in harmony with neighbors and built as a base camp for publishers instead of showing its presence on the main street.

Preparations
The M.Y.Lab Wood Workshop is located on the first floor of a warehouse, which used to be the Dongfeng Sofa Factory in Changning District, Shanghai. Adjacent to the warehouse, it is stood a new-built 150㎡ attached room, forming a triangle lacunain-between. The task is to refurbish the 300㎡ one-storey warehouse into a two-storey commercial space, which is to be operated as a wood crafting learning centre.

The project satisfies the requirement to construct a compact family hut, onto which a guest wing will be added.
