INYEON인연

A Korean raw bar and social club. Ground floor and mezzanine, with a hanok courtyard at the rear. The brief asked for a room that holds its quietness even when full.

The original blackened brick was kept. A reclaimed 19th-century hanok door marks the entry, half-hidden by the masonry. A long counter runs the length of the ground floor; above it, a hand-woven rattan ribbon traces the room in gochugaru red — the project name, 인연, made physical: the red thread of fate that ties strangers to one another.

The garden at the rear is the deliberate counter-move: hanok, blue-green, wood. No red. The mezzanine holds a private supper-cinema — tasting menu in courses, film between.
