​

​The Sejong Presidential Office reinterprets the traditional Korean architectural principles of chae (building clusters) and madang (courtyards) to establish a new relationship between architecture and nature, openness and security, and the state and its citizens. By translating the spatial order and aesthetics of Korean vernacular architecture into a contemporary language, the design creates a national landmark that embodies Korea's cultural depth and identity.

Each Chae and Madang is carefully integrated into the natural topography, moving beyond the authoritarian and monumental architectural expressions of the past to redefine the presidential office as a place that reflects the values of a mature democratic society.

Situated at the symbolic intersection connecting Wonsusan Mountain, public civic spaces, and the Sejong National Assembly Complex, the Sejong Presidential Office establishes a renewed relationship between the nation and its people. The proposal presents "Landscape of Wisdom"—a vision for a new presidential office that expresses the identity of contemporary Korea and represents the nation's dignity on the global stage.
