Subsequent to TSKP’s design of Kyobo’s $30 million 350,000 SF. corporate employee training and recreational center, the Kyobo Life Insurance Company engaged our firm to develop a prototype office building that could be adapted quickly to various locations, reflecting the nature of the specific community and the progressive image of this established company. The prototype building consists of 8 – 10 stories and ranged from 110,000 SF. – 150,000 SF. The building program includes customer services areas on the first two floors and corporate offices above. Building orientation, set backs, streetscape and fenestrations were carefully considered at each site. Standardized systems and materials available locally, such as the exterior stone cladding contributed to the cost effectiveness of the building program. The infusion of natural light that is controlled through low-e glazing and sun screening was an essential component to the creation of interiors, which support worker productivity. This Kang Noong branch office is a 9-story, 150,000 SF facility. TSKP completed three other branch offices in Korea.
