I don't know much about this Urban Hive building.

Energy2003 · June 13th, 2008, 11:44 AM

looks very spacy, interesting

***hkskyline*** · June 13th, 2008, 11:49 AM

Where is it located? Looks like a Gangnam-style structure.

globill · June 13th, 2008, 11:50 AM

It's located on Gangnam-Ro a few blocks north of Gangnam station. It'll look very cool at night with lights on inside.

on the news article,, the wall itself is the sustaining structure of the building, so don't have another core part inside the building,,

You can see the crane and rising Urban Hive.

kinda looks like Jardine House in Hong Kong doesn't it?

Mussoda · July 3rd, 2008, 03:56 AM

yep. those outlooks are similar .
but, about the structure, there is very important difference, as I know.

as you can see the following pic, the holes on the Jardine facade are just the decoration stuffs on the design aspect.
but about the Urban Hive, the concrete walls themselves are the sustaining structures of the building. so there is no core part inside the building, as u can see on the second pic. Maybe this is the first trial ever, at least in korea...

There is supposed to be a proper usage for the Urban Hive, right? I don't know whether it will be used for offices, hotel, or residential.

Mussoda · August 11th, 2008, 02:20 PM

It's only office. All floors were sold quickly according to news articles.

This one's windows are a lot smaller. One floor's height at Jardine House would fit one circle, but this one seems a lot more dense.

I'm not a big fan very boring in white and the circles just look discusting but that my opinion
