The data centre for KAKAO embodies connectivity to the local urban area while balancing security and openness by dividing the building into two masses: the Data Centre and Operation Office. At its heart is ‘Crack’, a lounge promoting communication among employees and with local residents. The landscaping mimics a natural forest, promoting friendliness while focusing on renewable energy and waste heat recycling.
