AFER Hangang: Terraced Apartments by Hyunjoon Yoo + Partners
Hyunjoon Yoo + Partners completed AFER Hangang, a 16,028 m² apartment complex in South Korea in 2024. The design was driven by strict setback regulations, which forced the building to recede as it rises, creating terraces. The architects used this constraint as a justification to persuade the client to include open terraces, a departure from the typical Korean practice of enclosing balconies. The project team included lead architects Hyunjoon Yoo and Jiyoung Jon, with construction by HYUNDAI E&C. Photographs were taken by Kyung Roh, Kyungsub Shin, and the firm. The complex falls under the Housing, Apartments category.
