Tree Trunk-Inspired Buildings Connect Underground

The best architectural designs don't need to look overcomplicated, they just need to be effective. This sleek pair of 17-story office buildings in Seoul by South Korean firm BCHO architects is a perfect example.

With a heavy amount of pedestrian activity in the area, a space was intentionally placed between the buildings to minimize above-ground disruptions. What's really extraordinary, that you wouldn't know by just looking at them, is that the two buildings share seven basement levels below-ground, and there is a linear pathway that connects them!
