Residential Architecture: Pentomonium Towers – Yongsan International Business District by Murphy/Jahn: “..pair of towers are set diagonal to each other and connected with a bridge at the midpoint and gridded rooftop canopy. reaching 320 meters tall, the slender profile emerges from a small square footprint, minimizing the number of units on each level while maximizing seclusion offering dwellers an urban living experience previously only found with individual homes. the scenic southwestern views are enhanced by internally shifting the vertical circulation cores towards the northeastern elevation. the resulting U-shaped configuration may be subdivided, maintaining their outward perspectives while penthouses use the entire floor..” Another rather spectacular project for the Yongsan International Business District, interior gardens, views, exclusivity, flexibility..
