Jongno Tower, Office skyscraper in Jongno district, South Korea
The triangular glass and steel structure rises 33 stories with an oval structure at the top, featuring seven open floors beneath the crown.
Samsung Securities commissioned architect Rafael Viñoly to design this commercial building, which opened its doors to tenants in 1999.
The tower stands opposite the Bo-shin-gahk belfry, where a bronze bell rings 33 times each New Year's Eve following ancient Buddhist traditions.
The building connects directly to Jonggak Station on Line 1 of the Seoul Metro through its basement level, which contains a shopping arcade.
Between the 23rd and 30th floors, the building maintains an empty space, creating a distinctive gap in its vertical profile.
