The main program of 'Sopoong-gil Community' is local community center, book cafe, performance hall and office. 'Sopoong-gil Community is mainly consist with wheelchair ramp, which is more than a mere wheelchair ramp that extends all the way from the 1st floor to the roof top on the 3rd floor, creates community space with no boundary and invites interactive connection with users’ various choice. With the ramp with no boundary, various activities can take place with the needs of everyone who wishes to use it. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 'Sopoong-gil Community' is both government and local residents participated architecture.

This building code became a motive for the design. In general, for certain parts of the building or entrances, wheelchair ramps and elevators or lifts have to be installed. CHALLENGE: The biggest challenge of this project was to overcome the small gross floor area. Given gross floor area was about 300 sqm but our client, Nowon-district government requested many programs to put in, such as book cafe, community center, offices. So we came up to use the idea of wheelchair ramp. According to the building code, wheelchair ramp doesn't include in the building area and floor are. We were able to use bigger spaces to put many programs and it also became the barrier free architecture.
