From the architect. Taekwang Country Club is a 36-hole golf course located just outside of
Seoul. The new two-floor caf is nestled in a steep hill, acting as a visual point of reference
on the course. Responding to the mountainous Korean landscape and local vegetation, the
building is well-integrated into its environment.

Players are treated to different views of the caf across the golf course, even though it is
never visible in its entirety.

The expressive oversized black steel roof with a distinct pattern of interlocking circles
produces a generous all-sided canopy.

Roof Plan

Voids in the roof allow trees to extend above the building and filter the sunlight to create a
calm and peaceful atmosphere inside. The pattern of circles is continued on the ceiling of
the caf for a visually coherent approach.

The elegant new caf offers a comfortable space where members can relax and enjoy a cup
of coffee or a light meal while waiting for their caddies to take them to the teeing ground.

The caf is also the resting point halfway through the game. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer
generous views over the golf course and its surroundings, making the caf an integral part
of the sporting experience.
