Seoul-based design practice Studio Studio has created a box-like eatery, 020 Walls, in Incheon, South Korea. Spread across more than 1,800 square feet, the restaurant occupies the ground floor of a large housing complex and boasts a roomy layout distinguished, not by walls, but by low-rise partitions that ensure intimacy without compromising openness.
“I wanted visitors to be able to feel the ‘clusters of walls,’” says Studio Studio designer Do Gwanghun. “Comfort and novelty should coexist in local restaurants—I should be able to answer the question ‘Can users see this space every day?’ positively.”
