Glass House

Glass House was designed by Tadao Ando. It is located in the Seobjikoji area in Jeju-do as part of the Pheonix Island Resort. Built primarily of concrete, glass and steel, the building overlooks Seongsan-ilchul-bong, a small nearby island. The landscape is designed to match the sharp angles that form the building, in turn creating pathways with turns up the building. The first floor is two parts, the gallery and the cafe, with space in between the two. It allows you to make visual contact with the sky outside the void as you get closer to the building entrance. Also, the wind blows through the space that surrounds you when you reach the entrance. The second floor was designed to maximize views towards the landscape by extending the volume to the sides and featuring pulled-in columns and tall glass cladding.

The 2nd floor has Mint restaurant, where you can experience the feeling of suddenly becoming a lighthouse floating on the sea and enjoy the sunrise or sunset on the horizon. This is a romantic space for you and your family or lover to interact with nature and delicious food
