Parnas Tower, Commercial office tower in Gangnam District, Seoul, South Korea.
Parnas Tower is a commercial office building in Seoul's Gangnam District rising to 38 floors with a glass facade trimmed by black horizontal louvers running across its walls. The tower houses office space, a luxury hotel, and a large retail mall all integrated within its structure.
Construction of Parnas Tower began in 2011 and was completed in 2016 by GS Engineering & Construction as a modern addition to Seoul's business district. The project represented a significant expansion of commercial space in Gangnam during a period of rapid urban development.
The building integrates classical and modern design elements in separate lobbies, reflecting the dual purpose of commercial space and hotel connections.
The tower features seven underground parking levels with space for 600 vehicles and connects directly to Samsung Metro Station and the Parnas Retail Mall for easy access. Visitors can reach it conveniently by public transport or by car with ample parking available.
The tower generates approximately 25 percent of its lighting power through photovoltaic panels built into its structure, making it a notable example of integrated renewable energy in the building. This sustainable feature demonstrates how modern architecture can incorporate environmental responsibility into its design.
