Hyangsimjae takes a holistic approach to medical treatments, combining family medicine and dermatology. It's design aims to create an intimate atmosphere and help the doctor and the patient to establish a relationship of mutual trust. This is why the rooms are designed in such a way that only a small number of people can enter them at a time. The natural materials, colors and light conditions of the interior radiate calm, and the use of glass and metal gives the building an urban appearance, while, at the same time, the rough exterior facade contrasts with the surrounding cityscape.

The philosophy of 100A associates is rooted in the studio’s Korean heritage.
