Further downscaling was achieved by partitioning the building into small units resulting in a cluster structure with niches for varied types of recreation and play zones. The small units provide overview and structure – a safe and manageable environment for all children, especially emotionally sensitive children.

Even though all the restaurants in the alley of Haejang-guk are disguised as original, the scenery in which they line up only in one house in the end makes the rest of them a sub-class. The story of the real ancestor produces emotions and heals various interpretations. The body of space has the possibility that it can be made complete only with the soul of the story.
