Samsung Town, Seocho

One of Seoul's most beautiful modern buildings


Samsung Town 삼성타운 is located in Seocho-gu near the Teheranno road and close to the modern part named Gangnam (actually located at Gangnam Station exits 3 and 4). It's a modern all-glass-facade structure of the Samsung corporation, used as office buildings. It consists of 3 buildings, of which the tallest tops up at 200m and 44 floors (source). Buildings like this fascinate me. And they don't need to be super tall, it's the design, that amazes me, the color of the facade, the cubical structure, that seems to be totally against nature, but somehow in harmony with it. I always wanted to see these buildings and I'm happy that I had the chance. See my photos below:

The way to the underground garage.

The main entrance: All glass. Amazing.

Even the trellises have a design, that matches the building.
