Architect-K has released images of MIGIUI, a contemporary cafe and social hub located in the hanok village of Ulju-gun, South Korea.

The structure was crafted to harmonize with its natural environment, drawing inspiration from a forest trail.

Natural elements such as trees, rocks, and water features are strategically placed throughout the site to evoke a sense of nature, complemented by a green roof.

Three courtyards integrate with the landscape, merging the indoor and outdoor experiences for visitors.

Stainless steel eaves have been incorporated to manage sunlight exposure while following the building’s fluid design, enhancing its sleek appearance.


The curved glass walls mirror the building’s shape, offering unobstructed views of the gardens from various communal areas, including the event spaces and cafe.
