[KTX Parking Complex] 

Located in Ulsan’s new urban center, the KTX Parking Complex responds to complex urban conditions where parking shortages and commercial programs overlap. Under Korean building regulations requiring a composition of 70% parking and 30% commercial space, the lower levels secure public accessibility through retail functions, while the upper levels consist of wedding halls and convention spaces. An intermediate parking layer connects these programs, enabling a flexible vertical organization. The façade reflects this spatial structure: the lower portion features a glass façade with aluminum louvers that expresses the speed of the KTX; the parking areas are enclosed with perforated aluminum panels that reveal dynamic interactions of light; and the topmost level is finished with curved panels inspired by the waves of the Ulsan sea and the form of a tulip. All ltogether, the building embodies the architectural concept of a hub and transit gateway.
