The Shilla Seoul, a representative property of the Samsung Group affiliate Hotel Shilla, is a premium lifestyle hotel representing Korea, as well as a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.

Thanks to its reputation, visits by heads of state, renowned figures, and organizations in the fields of diplomacy, economy, and culture historically accounted for a large portion of sales. However, after the outbreak of the pandemic, as travel became difficult and social distancing was enforced, the proportion of family visitors surged. In the past, however, business travelers and couples were the main target customers, so there needed to be more facilities for family visitors, particularly for children. There was also a need to support children's programs that were included in family guest packages and promotions.

On the 5th floor of the hotel, there was an unused space that was previously a barbershop. Initially, there is an idea to turn this space into a kids' play lounge where children can play freely. However, the room was not large enough to run around in, and since this place was located near the sauna's sleeping room, any noise had to be minimized. Therefore, I suggested that the overall program be focused on static activities and educational content, and the design should be conducive of a calm atmosphere accordingly.
