BeakMiDang Gondbang, the headquarters of the BeakMiDang which has stores in several places in South Korea and Hong Kong, is a place where we shaped up in a slow careful pace so that it took about one year from design to completion. The most important thing when establishing the first concept of our company was to make a place where it showed the heritage that differentiates from the other stores while maximizing the values that Beakmidang pursues.

Also in selecting and finishing the materials, we focused on minimizing the type and color of the material and adjusting the intensity of design so as not to overdo it as the saying 儉而不陋 華而不侈侈: (Thrifty but not lean, Colorful but not luxurious)

While searching for a space that can best express Korean beauty and heritage of Beakmidang, we thought of Korea’s “Palman Tripitaka”, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is not only recognized for its excellence but also well known for preservation that it can still be preserved after more than eight hundred years.

The material of the hardwood is picked and preserved and dried for several years. Also, it is a well-known story that it each letter is written with one following bow. The word ‘Gongbang’ though it may be a bit slow, leads to crafty emotions that are friendly and devoted.
An overall look of the Beakmidang studio is a woodwind design which is made with non-artificial material such as natural wood, and Korean paper ‘Hanji’. The shelves and pillars are made of timber and carbonized wood so that it can be strong to moisture and wrapping but intend to slowly show the original color over time, lightings are placed indirectly on each shelf to display the textures of material even better.

This speaks on behalf of Beakmidang’s attitude of not compromising over choosing food ingredients. Also, the ceiling railing voided from the floor to the fourth floor is finished with lumber and Hanji, which was intended to shows natural sunlight and  Korean beauty by at the same time.
The first third-story building was divided into three, four, and the second-story ceiling was raised up to the fourth to naturally connect two spaces. This bold decision led to a rather small space of the fourth floor, but the workshop became more special and cozy.
