Architectural Renderings House-New Sustainable Tower in Soul by SOM

Architectural powerhouse SOM recently releashed a new landmark tower designed by their resident architect Mustafa Abadan for the city of Seoul, Korea. Located in the heart of Seoul’s Digital Media City, the new tower will also feature an incredible living atrium that will provide both light and air to the deller within.

It was an unique gesture in skyscraper design, not only is it a sleek spire shining brightly against the drab urban sprawl, but it also proposes a new approach to designing high-performance towers.

Inspired by the filtration exhibited by a marine sponge, the new tower finds its living core within the interior atria, which acts as the lungs for the tower, maximizing both air circulation and filtration through active phytoremediation walls.


These walls are able to both temper and refresh the quality of interior air throughout the building.

While the void is meant to capitalize on stacked air flow, and in turn drive the wind turbines sited at the top of the spire, the open space actually allows for an incredible infusion and refraction of natural daylight, dramatically reducing any dependency on mechanical systems for lighting.

The Digital Media City Tower is a great example in fusing technology with the environment to create a sustainable space through reduced energy consumption and comfortable circulation. The sustainable systems reduce the overall energy use by 65 percent. Once complete, the new tower will house retail space at the lowest levels, with the office, residential and hotel units filling out the rest of the construction.
