Capturing Warehouse Seoul: Interior Photography
The design journey of Warehouse, a pub & restaurant in Seoul, began with a focus on expressing its brand identity. Renowned designer Will Craig of Discursive Form, in collaboration with Seoul-based architects ZABEL + PARTNERS, chose concrete and metal as major finishing materials, eliminating decorative elements. Commissioned as a photographer, I documented the interior architecture of this transformational project in 2012.
A Space True to Its Name
True to its name, Warehouse embraces its original function, creating a space that aligns with the brand’s identity. The choice of concrete and metal as dominant materials reflects the designer’s intention to eliminate unnecessary embellishments. This minimalist approach, finalized in 2012, sets Warehouse apart as a unique pub & restaurant in Seoul.
New Look by Designer William Craig and Architect Ralf Zabel
Recently, Warehouse underwent a significant transformation. It received a complete new look by American designer William Craig and German architect Ralf Zabel. Their collaboration breathed new life into the establishment, enhancing its atmosphere and overall aesthetic. As the commissioned photographer, I was tasked with capturing the essence of this redesigned space.
Warehouse: Affordable Excellence
Founded by New Yorker Jason Choi, Warehouse believes in offering good food and a great atmosphere without breaking the bank. The recent redesign by Craig and Zabel aligns with Choi’s vision. It provides patrons with an affordable yet exceptional dining and social experience in Seoul.
