U RETREAT
‘U’ - Your Retreat Space for Tranquility
We aimed to create the first uniquely Korean retreat, providing an opportunity to escape everyday
life and find personal rejuvenation and inspiration.
21st Century Concrete Pavilion
A glass retreat resembling vertical cliffs and canyons,
With soaring heights and expansive windows to fully immerse in the unspoiled beauty of nature,
Experience the ever-changing seasons as a profound and intense sequence on a grand scale.
Earthquake and Landslide Resistant Design
With a focus on customer safety and undisturbed relaxation,
Constructed with 176 PHC piles reaching the bedrock and utilizing 5 earth anchor installations,
Made with nano-level fine concrete,
The building is fortified with a lightning-proof facility system to withstand thunderstorms and lightning.
Dedicated time and effort were invested to ensure optimal durability and safety.
